Understanding PACP Deformed Flexible Codes
This installment focuses on the proper use of the Deformed Flexible Code. It is important to know the type of material that the pipe is made of, to determine if it is flexible, designed to deform before breaking, or rigid in construction. The codes are further described using a Modifier as follows: A Bulging Round (BR), where one or more rounded projections protrude into the pipe. A Bulging Inverse Curvature (BI), where an inward bulge is sharp crested taking on the shape of
Cross Bore Prevention
Cross Bore Prevention and Detection are two very serious issues. Cross Bore prevention occurs before and during the actual drilling takes place. Cross Bore Detection occurs after the drilling has occurred. Both aspects are important but the more important of the two is Cross Bore Detection. Cross Bore Prevention involves sewer mainline, and lateral CCTV, Pot Holing and traditional, trenching, installation. CCTV of the sewer mainline and laterals needs to include electronic lo
