About the Project

On Dellrose Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, corroded metal pipes required replacement as part of an area stormwater infrastructure improvement project.
After the pre-existing 72-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) was removed, 224 linear feet of 72-inch steel reinforced polyethylene pipe (SRPE) was installed by Blakemore Construction.

Why Value Engineer SRPE Pipe in lieu of RCP?

Lightweight

72-inch SRPE BXS pipe weighs 64.1 lbs/ft compared to 1,820 lb/ft RCP, making it easier to transport, handle and install on site.

Safer Installations

Unlike RCP, SRPE pipe doesn’t require heavy machinery to lift or install the pipe, reducing the risk of on site heavy machinery accidents.

Superior Joint Performance

SRPE has a deep insertion bell & spigot gasketed joint tested to 20 psi, resulting in a high performance, watertight joint that far exceeds the ASTM D3212 minimum allowable leakage of 10.8 psi for sanitary sewers.
