I didn't see it mentioned in the other thread, but on a 6 inch hydrant and lead replacement (including hydrant isolation valve, hydrant replacement and lead to the main tee) use of both thrust blocks and restraints can be a benefit as you can (with peace of mind and confidence) pressure test...

Hi guys, Sorry for taking a bit to get back to this. Thanks for the links and info provided. I will check them out. I am not sure off hand of the dr of the poly, but I was given this info in the attachment if it helps. RConner, I guess full bore discharge is what I am looking for. Although I...

Hello and sorry for what I think is a dumb question, but I was unable to find what I am looking for elsewhere, then I thought you guys could easily help me here. I am trying to calculate what the flow rate from a water service should be. I know that the simple formula is Q=AV (flow rate = area...

Proposed plans are typically used during the project planning stages and may be (for example) sent around to various entities, colleagues, or departments, etc for their comments on the plan. They may comment on how the proposed project plan affects their infrastructure or operations for example...

I would like to further bimr's suggestion a bit as he posted before me. Not that I am an expert, but if this was my project (and based off of the limited info in the first post), I would certainly use steel encasement and instead of HDD, use laser guided boring to get the 1% (also help to...

Sounds like you need one of these: Link They are expensive though, but a requirement for many new larger developments.

Thanks for the reply and the link. :) I have been working on one when I can, but development of it can be a challenge sometimes as I seem to spend more time on the excel forums trying to learn formulas than I do getting much accomplished on that sheet... [tongue]

Thanks for the welcome! :) Yeah, I am in the great white north. By semi-aggressive, I just mean that the water main replacement program focuses on those two pipe types. It’s mainly based on things like leak frequency on areas or sections of main, and of course over 90% of our main leaks are on...

Thanks for the suggestion! :) You're not kidding about the "high-priced" comment... I looked up a 16", and yeeouch.

Cool thread! I find it interesting as our town is on a semi aggressive replacement program to get rid of all our cast iron and ductile iron mains. We use only C900/905 PVC DR-18 for all repairs and capital replacements and new subdivision installs. The only exception are crosses. Apparently PVC...

No one uses excel to calculate and estimate jobs, or no one wants to share? :) J/k, I have started one for myself, but I am not an expert in excel by any means and was thinking that someone out there must have a pretty good one already... :)

Thanks for the reply and the info. Sorry it took a while to reply back.

I have a quick dumb question; Will a pressure reducing globe valve allow flow in the opposite direction if demand suddenly dictated such?

I was wondering if anyone in the deep utility (i.e water, wastewater) repair/replacement industry would have (and be willing to share) their method/spreadsheet for estimating volumes of materials required for trench excavations? (i.e screened rock, crushed gravel, pit run, sand, native backfill...
