The process guys have located a 6" and 10" drain under our 46'x46'x24' concrete tanks. The contractor wants to use stainless steel pipe because he has it in stock. I have design guides for ductile iron pipe but not stainless steel pipe. Does anyone know of a design guide for buried stainless steel pipe subject to vertical pressure? How far would you usually bury a pipe under a tank? What type of bedding would you use for the tank? We specify 24" of cover with type 5 bedding. Do you think that is enough? The tank is a wastewater treatment tank in PA.
