- 1,200’ (366 m) of 12” (300 mm) N-12® Dual Wall HDPE Pipe
Because the turf where the hospitals were built could flood in a medium rain event, stormwater control was vitally necessary.
The hospitals were designed on the fly and plans had to be changed to accommodate the equipment of the various trades. The flexibility of the N-12 pipe allowed a complete project redesign. The light weight of N-12 allowed it to be easily handled by one- or two-person crews and to be zip-tied to attach the pipe to the buildings.
The system was designed to handle 1,230 gallons (4,656 liters) of rainwater per minute. The rainwater runoff from the tents was conveyed through the pipe and went to swales dug to handle the stormwater flow.
