The Canadian Concrete Pipe Association is joining forces with
Lafarge, Inland Pipe, and Expocrete/Oldcastle with facilities in
the Saskatchewan and Manitoba region to staff an exhibit at the
Transportation Association of Canada conference and
exhibition in Winnipeg, September 22 to 25.
The conference features a wide variety of technical, social,
professional, and networking events, and is expected to attract
some 800 public and private sector transportation delegates.
The conference is hosted by Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation and the City of Winnipeg.
ePipes Guide In Making Informative Decisions The American Concrete Pipe Association has published many ePipes that guide you in making
informative decisions. ePipe # e-009 compares Polypropylene and Polyethylene. "According to the
Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), the plastic pipe industry has taken risks to come up with new products to
“improve” the storm water industry and “these changes were very risky as they involved major
redesigns and significant investments in equipment and tooling that if incorrect, would result in very
expensive boat anchors for the manufacturers.”

Concrete pipe and box articles published in 2013 Concrete pipe in North America has a long history of dependability and performance. Quality of product
and performance standards has made concrete a preferred material for many traditional sanitary and
storm sewer applications. Precast reinforced concrete pipe and boxes have created niche markets where
never before envisioned. Such markets include geothermal air exchange; chambers for utilities and
services; marine current deflectors, walls and small dams; animal and pedestrian crossings of rail lines
and highways; tunnels for railways and raw material conveyances; storm water storage and retention
chambers for rainwater harvesting; small bridge structures; jacking and tunneling applications; and,
marine outfalls and fresh water intakes. Applications for concrete pipe and box systems are limited only
by the imagination of infrastructure designers and physics.
The concrete pipe industry and its associations regularly publish product applications in trade and
industry publications throughout Canada and the United States, and many published articles become
archived on Web sites. Following is a summary of selected articles published since January 2013.
Concrete Pipe News

Editorial: Autonomy Under MAP-21 Means Greater Attention To Standard of Care for
Engineers
Responsibility now lies with the engineer involved
in State infrastructure design, specifications, value
engineering, and construction to deliver a constructible
project that meets the desired purpose, and protects
the health, safety and welfare of the user.

Sewer Separation Project Improves Water Quality and Accommodates Growth
Concrete pipe is being used to install storm and sanitary sewers on the $15.8 million Nicholas Street Phase 1 Project
in Omaha, Nebraska. Three, 108-inch diameter storm sewers and one 24-inch diameter sanitary sewer are being
extended west from Abbott Drive. An existing combined sewer on 11th Street was removed and replaced with a
new storm and sanitary sewer, and a new sanitary sewer was constructed along Clark Street. The project had one
railroad crossing where jack and bore methods were
required. All pipes were constructed with confined O-ring joints3. The project improves water quality in the
Missouri River by removing a large volume of stormwater runoff from a combined sewer system, and increases
storm sewer capacity in an underserved area.
http://www.concrete-pipe.org/magazine/2013springcpnews.html
Life of Historic Sewer Extended with RCP
A 60-inch diameter brick combined sewer built in the 1860s serving downtown New Haven and Yale University
was separated, leaving the brick sewer to continue carrying a lower volume of sanitary sewage while storm water
was redirected to a new 72-inch diameter reinforced concrete storm sewer. The brick sewer had collected storm
water from building roof leaders, runoff from streets and parking lots, and about 120 acres of previously separated

storm water from upstream areas. It required separation because it could no longer accommodate increased
combined flows during heavy rain and snowfall.

Precast Box Underpass for Golf Carts and Maintenance Vehicles
The UDOT Design Team and Copper Hills Constructors worked with Geneva Pipe and Precast to design a 264 foot,
18-foot x 12-foot precast box pedestrian underpass under the newly constructed Mountain View Corridor (SR-85)
State freeway in northern Utah. Precast concrete was favored over cast-in-place due to the speed of installation and
consistent quality characteristic of precast concrete
installations.

Mega Project Required Mega Boxes for Nevada Monsoons
The Tenaya – Decatur drainage project1 in the northern portion of the Las Vegas Valley specified over 3 miles of
reinforced concrete boxes (RCB) to accommodate seasonal monsoons. Mega boxes were used for 1.5 miles of a three
mile segment. The mega box order consisted of 1,592 feet of dual barrel (15-foot x 9-foot) box; 736 feet of four barrel
(13.5-foot x 10-foot) box; and, 732 feet of four barrel (13.5-feet x 9-foot) box sections. In addition, there was over 3.5
miles of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP)
ranging in sizes from 18 to 66 inches.

Port Canaveral Reinforces Its Storm Pipe Infrastructure
During summer 2012, a pothole and subsidence occurred in the employee parking lot of Cruise Terminal 10 at Port
Canaveral, Florida. Canaveral Port Authority determined that a 400-feet run of 60-inch diameter high-density
polyethylene (HDPE) storm pipe needed to be replaced with reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). On September 19,
2012, the Canaveral Port Authority Commission authorized a $325,000 increase to an existing Doug Wilson
Enterprises contract for the replacement. Doug
Wilson Enterprises subcontracted with Renegade Underground, which purchased 60-inch ASTM C 76 Class III RCP
from Rinker Materials Concrete Pipe Division.

Editorial: ACPA is a Knowledge-based Industry Association
An industrial association does not prosper non-stop for 105 years without embracing a core
business acumen. The creation of new knowledge through data collection and analysis to
form information that translates into knowledge has characterized the ACPA since its
inception. ACPA has always shared its knowledge about concrete and precast drainage
products, competitive materials, and thermoplastic and corrugated steel conduit.

An After Bid CMP Proposal Falls Short! Sound Engineering Worth More
Than Initial Pipe Price
A 4-barrel, 96-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe detention system was designed for a Lexus automobile
dealership in Nashville, Tennessee. Each of the barrels had a length of 160 feet connected with a precast concrete
pipe and precast junction box manifold system. Storm water had to be detained on site then drained very slowly.

Installed Costs a Key Consideration for Specifying RCP
Rigid and flexible pipe products are designed to react differently in the field. When installation specifications
accurately account for these differences, and are combined with a cost analysis of the pipe envelope, the result is the
construction of a pipeline that will perform as expected. The Greens on Gardiner stormwater trunk sewer (Regina,
SK) was Completed in May 2011. The installation demonstrates how concrete pipe can be competitive with pipe
materials with a less expensive unit price. Regina’s specification for the construction of storm sewers is a well-
researched document that recognizes that flexible and rigid pipe interact differently with the surrounding soil and
have major inherent differences that must be considered in the design of a pipeline.

Pony Truss Bridge Replaced with Precast Boxes
A pony truss bridge constructed in 1965 in Monona County Iowa was replaced with twin precast concrete boxes 47
years later. The county engineer let the bridge replacement project in August 14, 2012 near Mapleton, Iowa. He
specified a precast concrete box culvert with an alternative corrugated Multiplate® or Superspan®. Price was not
the lone determinate in selecting material and product for the structure. A bridge condition survey attributed to the
National Bridge Inventory reported in 2011 that the bridge was structurally deficient.

Highway Storm Drainage Controlled with Pipe and Boxes
Hanson Pipe & Precast1 supplied more than 6 miles (33,000 feet) of reinforced concrete pipe and over 8 miles
(43,000 feet) of reinforced concrete boxes for Segment E2 of the Grand Parkway project near Houston, Texas. These
products will manage basic stormwater runoff between two major thoroughfares, Interstate 10 and Highway 290.
The sewers and culverts prevent flooding and keep traffic flow moving during days of heavy rains. The 15-mile
stretch from Katy Freeway to Northwest Freeway is designed for a four-lane controlled access toll road that serves
as part of a larger loop surrounding the greater Houston area. Segment E will have a large impact on the growth
and accessibility of Houston, and impact the viability of the area for years.

Special Manhole for Speed and Performance
Hanson’s supply of two special 5-sided wastewater manholes as well as several additional manholes for 48-inch
diameter sewer mains, demonstrated the versatility of precast concrete drainage products to be delivered on site,
ready for installation – according to schedule.

Addendum Addresses Standard of Care for Plastic Pipe
A sanitary sewer project was released for tender by the City of London in early 2013. The
sanitary sewer was designed using reinforced concrete pipe. However, the contract also
included a trial section of 65 metres of 900mm polypropylene plastic pipe. The plastic pipe in
question was offered free of charge by the Ohio based producer of this pipe. There are major
differences between reinforced concrete pipe and plastic pipe. Drainage systems and sewer
systems constructed from concrete pipe and plastic pipe have to be designed differently and
installed differently. The consulting engineer for the City of London project recognized those

Polypropylene Pipe Floatation at Columbus Airport
In July 2012, a 1,500mm diameter polypropylene plastic storm pipe was discovered to have succumbed to
groundwater hydrostatic forces at the Port Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio. The polypropylene
storm pipe literally floated out of the ground.

Unique Precast Post Tensioned Overflow Structure Designed for West Don Lands Stormwater Conveyance
System
The City of Toronto’s approach to stormwater management is hierarchical meaning that control systems must first
be implemented at the source, then conveyance controls and then lastly end-of-pipe controls. The real engineering
challenge comes in managing this large quantity of stormwater and treating it to meet the stormwater quality
requirements in a cost effective way. Large processing volumes generally require large, expensive equipment. In
order to reduce the size of the processing equipment the consulting design engineers, R.V. Anderson Associates
Limited, used the main shaft of the new outfall conveyance system as a storage space for storm water. The 12 metre
diameter shaft was also used to launch the tunnel boring machine (TBM) which tunnelled the three metre diameter
concrete-lined rock tunnels under major roads and utilities.

OCPA Partners with Town of Milton on 2015 Pan AM Games Velodrome
The Pan American Games are the world’s third largest international multi-sport Games held every four years in the
year preceding the Olympic Summer Games. When the Town of Milton contacted the Ontario Concrete Pipe
Association about partnering in this project through in-kind donations of pipe materials for the velodrome site, the
members of OCPA were eager to support such a valuable community project. OCPA staff worked with the sewer
design engineers at AMEC and the sewer contractor Niran to determine the strength class of 525mm diameter
concrete pipe required for the sanitary sewer system.

Logos that contain subliminal messaging
By Dominic Green | Business Insider – Wed, 15 May, 2013
Whether you realize it or not, a brand's logo speaks to its viewer on many levels.
There's the initial recognisability factor—if a logo is too complex or unrelated to its brand, it risks being
glanced over without communicating its brand's message. For that reason, modern logos tend to err on
the side of boldness and simplicity.
But a closer look at many logos reveals more subtle marketing tactics.
You may have noticed the subliminal features of some of these designs in the past. But have you looked
hard enough to see them all?
FedEx— The FedEx logo hides an arrow in its negative space. Even a glance subliminally inspires
thoughts of efficiency and forward motion.
FedEx
Baskin Robbins — This logo, introduced in 2005, cleverly uses the company's initials to advertise its
number of ice cream flavors (31).

Tour de France — Slightly more abstract than the other examples, the Tour de France logo contains a
well-integrated biker.
Tour de France
Toblerone — See the dancing bear in the mountain? The design is a tribute to the Swiss town where the
chocolate was developed.
Toblerone
Milwaukee Brewers — It's easy to miss the second meaning of this throwback logo from the baseball
team.

Amazon — The cleverness of this logo is twofold. The arrow points from a to z, referring to all that is
available on Amazon.com, and it doubles as a satisfied smile (with dimple).
Amazon
Tostitos — The not-so-hidden design within this logo conjures up feelings of togetherness and friendship
over chips and salsa.
