- 200' (60 m) of 60" (1,500 mm) SaniTite® HP Pipe
The culvert repairs had to withstand contamination from above, allow free flow of the creek and withstand 17’ (5 m) of earth weight and railcars passing overhead. With these circumstances, the pipe required at least a 46 psi (317 kPa) pipe stiffness, joint pressure rating of 15 psi (103 kPa) and an E80 railroad load - all of which SaniTite HP met. The initial costs were $180,000, but nearly $80,000 was saved by utilizing SaniTite HP. SaniTite HP chosen because of its material, economical price and a standard contractor could easily and quickly install it. In fact, the pipe system of 200 feet was put together by a crew of four in about two hours.
