    Ductile Iron pipe Vs Reinforce Concrete Pipe

    Hi guys, Thank you for you reply, I am aware of the advantage of RC pipe. Believe me the pipe is not for sewerage use. From where I came from’China’ the procurement of DI pipe is faster than RC pipe. And, we use Polyethylene lining for the DI pipe in storm drain. So that’s why ks is around...

    Ductile Iron pipe Vs Reinforce Concrete Pipe

    Hi guys, I need some good poinst to make point for ductile iron pipe VS reinforce concrete pipe comparsion. In my case, ground cover is not an issue. I notice that DI pipe Ks is around 0.03 and RC pipe is around 0.15. So, it appear to me that DI pipe will have better hydraulic performance, but...

    Soil Backfilling monitoring

    Hi Oldestguy, Thank you for you reply. Your brough out very intereting point if shrinkage occur on a particular area, and it require more change order to order more off site borrow to meet certain garde level.It will affect the construction progress, cause delay or fall behind? tsli001

    Soil Backfilling monitoring

    Hi Oldestguy, Thank you for replying my message. The job (Assignment) that I involve with was happened long time ago. I can’t hard recall. As I remember. What my team (QA/QC team) did was do the proctor test for the water content of the soil, and did the in-place density for 98% compaction. I...

    Soil Backfilling monitoring

    Hi guy, For soil Proctor test, can the test result can be used in monitoring soil backfilling progress in certain area?(behind schedule) Or, can sieve analysis data plot against time can let tell us how far the backfilling progress is? Thanks many tsli
