High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) has been used in numerous trenchless applications. To survive in today's tight market, contractors must demonstrate agility and creativity. One way is to expand the use of proven trenchless techniques into larger diameters or more efficient wall thicknesses. This session will cover the properties and parameters that make HDPE suitable for these projects. The trenchless installation of HDPE pipe on the Sioux Falls, Lake Shetek area and Lake Elmo projects will be showcased. These projects are for gas, force main sewer and water, respectively. The pipe properties desirable for trenchless installation will also be discussed.
