This is certainly a service record that most utilities beach that we can’t enjoy other times of the year. half its size would envy. In fact, some utilities have 40 breaks a month, or even a week, because they use cheap, Summer also brings the onslaught of hurricane season. inferior pipe materials like PVC and HDPE. Our first storm of the year, Arthur, created much attention, although thankfully visited very briefly. It did, however, show some of the benefits of using McWane Ductile Iron Pipe, most notably ductile iron pipe’s ability to stay where a utility buries it. Hurricanes bring storm surges, resulting in unusually high water levels. Some piping materials, like HDPE, are less dense than water and, therefore, are prone to floating. In buried installations, this may not seem to be a concern; however, high water levels in saturated sandy environments create the potential for HDPE pipe to float out of the location where it was buried. The next time you see a report from a flooded area, look for a ribbon of HDPE pipe sprawled across the roadway. If you see one, you’ll So, while many of our readers are in the midst of their know how it got there. busiest time of year, installing many miles of McWane Ductile Iron Pipe, we want to offer our thanks for your June, besides bringing the start of hurricane season, also support and reassure you that we’re at your service now brings water works professionals together from across and for generations to come.

DUCTILE VS. STEEL: MAKING THE BEST CHOICE

Initial consideration for a project involves determining the best product for the job. Upon weighing all the factors, we can all certainly agree that ductile iron is the best overall choice for water utility projects.

DESIGN The design basis behind ductile HOOP STRESS EQUATION: T = FS (PW + PS) (D) iron pipe is the most conservative 2S DUCTILE of products on the market today. Where T = pipe wall thickness D = outside diameter in inches Decades of reliable service IRON Fs = factor of safety (2) S = specified minimum yield provide evidence of ductile iron’s Pw = working pressure, psi strength ductile iron 42,000 psi Ps = surge pressure, psi success. Design calculations are found in the ANSI/AWWA C151/A21.51 standard design for ductile iron pipe. The most HOOP STRESS EQUATION: notable difference is the safety factor. The safety factor for T = (PW) (D) T = (PW + PS) (D) ductile iron pipe is 2.0, while the STEEL 2S OR 2S safety factor for steel ranges Where S = allowable stress, psi Where S = allowable stress, psi from 1.33 to 2.0, depending on the = 50% yield strength of steel = 75% yield strength of steel percent of yield strength used.

With as much as Compare that to the 2.0 safety factor used in the ductile 95 percent recycled materials, using ductile iron is a iron pipe design. The difference in percentages of yield benefit to our environment. Ductile iron also has no affect the thickness design of the pipe. Let’s stay with expiration, which basically means that when replaced the more conservative, trustworthy calculations. it can be recycled over and over again.

Look at this from another angle. We have a 24-inch CORROSION AND PROTECTION water line with a working pressure of 150 psi. Ductile iron pipe is unique when it comes to corrosion control. An oxide layer is formed on the inside CALCULATING THE THICKNESS: and the outside of all ductile iron pipes during the Required Thickness process. This oxide layer provides Steel pipe (50% yield) = .086 thickness adequate corrosion protection in many circumstances. Steel pipe (75% yield) = .095 thickness Utilization of the 10 Point Soil System will determine if Ductile iron pipe = .157 thickness there is a need for additional corrosion protection. The next step in corrosion protection for ductile iron pipe is The thickness of the ductile iron pipe is much greater than polyethylene encasement, also known as V-Bio. that of the steel. Also, the minimum thickness for a 24-inch Class 200 pipe is .24 inches, which is well beyond the Bonding three layers of co-extruded linear low-density calculated thickness design for internal pressure. There polyethylene into one forms V-Bio.

We do not know influenced corrosion, and a volatile corrosion inhibitor to what the future will bring 100 years down the road, but control galvanic corrosion. V-Bio is quite easy to install in the we do know that the design of ductile iron pipe provides field prior to pipe installation. Much like ductile iron pipe, ensurance that we are well prepared. V-Bio can be installed in virtually any weather condition. No other product on the market compares. Polyethylene encasement has proven to control corrosion in aggressive soils for more than 50 years. In addition, it is very cost effective. The cost for V-Bio is minimal as compared

Not with ductile iron pipe. Steel pipe, on the other hand, to mention the even more expensive costs associated is more reliant on cathodic protection. Ductile iron with cathodic protection, which is widely used pipe joints are discontinuous, which helps to isolate in conjunction with steel. In general, the bonded corrosion cells to one piece of pipe. Contrarily, steel coatings that are used to protect steel pipe are very joints are continuous, which increases the potential expensive. Other issues that plague bonded coatings for electrolysis and, therefore, the need for cathodic are handling and patching. The thin wall of steel protection. Cathodic protection systems also require pipe may have insufficient beam strength to support maintenance. In comparison, while the use of ductile its own weight, which makes handling somewhat iron pipe provides an opportunity to save money in the challenging. It is difficult to handle a section of steel future, the use of steel pipe increases pumping and pipe throughout installation without experiencing maintenance costs. some type of damage to the bonded coatings. Any void in a bonded coating greatly increases the INSTALLATION FACTORS potential for corrosion. Therefore, these voids must Whether it’s rain, sleet, snow, heat, or freezing be repaired. Contractors do not have the luxury of temperatures, ductile iron pipe can handle them all. Let’s waiting until the sun shines to get the job done.

South Central Connecticut Regional Water Doing so allowed maximum productivity Authority determined that the water main during such tight time frames. At present, along the Whitney Avenue area required the project is nearing completion, with no upgrading. Lenard Engineering provided the product issues to date. pipeline modeling, design and construction supervision. As contractor on the job, the folks at C.J. Fucci handled the main installation.

In the process, the crew came upon a few tricky obstacles. The installation was along a very busy state highway that has construction limits on hours worked. The law stipulates that roadway lane closures may begin at 9:00 a.m. and that cleanup must be completed by 3:00 p.m., at which time the crew must be off the road.

CLOSING THE LOOP NEAR APEX AIRPORT IN SILVERDALE, WASHINGTON

Ductile iron pipe will close a big water “loop” that has required several phases and projects over the last few years in Silverdale, Washington. A new 16-inch water main that runs parallel to the Apex Airport will service many residences in Silverdale and numerous folks throughout much of the surrounding area. In addition, the project will service the homes along the airport that are currently being serviced by two-inch and four-inch PVC pipe. The resulting ductile iron pipe will have about 20 direct service taps to the homes that you see in the pictures.

Project contractor Pacific Coast General opened its doors about three years ago, and until recently, the company had been utilizing ductile iron pipe from a different manufacturer. However, they, along with distributor HD Supply, chose to use McWane Ductile Iron Pipe on this project. This is the first project that we have received from them through HD Supply, and we appreciate Thomas Gibson’s efforts in securing it. We are both excited and thankful to be doing business with both Pacific Coast General and HD Supply on this project.
