I have a steel main that crosses 400' span bridge. The water main resides within a below-grade cell and supported at 10' intervals. The water main has experienced significant corrosion at the existing bell & spigot joints and will need to be replaced.
One potential option is to replace the pipe with either HDPE or PVC. Since it will reside in a below-grade cell, there will be minimal UV exposure. What are your opinions with this material selection?
