I've got a guy doing takeoffs for a stormwater system and he's come across an acronym that i'm not familar with for some of the piping between drainage structures. The plans are calling out for SICPE.
Is this the same as Corrugated HDPE/ADS N-12?

I would assume that it is Smooth Interior Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe which is essentially what N-12 is. It is usually abbreviated as SCIPP, so this could be a typo.

Your specs should provide you with information regarding the pipe material to verify if N-12 is suitable.

SICPP stands for Smooth Interior Corrugated Polyethylene Pipe. Corrugated HDPE/ADS N-12 will fall under that classification.
