United StatesEnvironmental ProtectionAgencyOffice of WaterWashington, 832-F-00-068 September 2000 WastewaterTechnology Fact SheetPipe Construction and MaterialsDESCRIPTIONT here are several different pipe materials availablefor wastewater collection systems, each with aunique characteristic used in different four different pipe materials described in thisfact sheet are ductile iron, concrete, plastic, andvitrified material selection considerations includetrench conditions (geologic conditions), corrosion,temperature, safety requirements, and cost. Keypipe characteristics are corrosion resistance (interiorand exterior), the scouring factor, leak tightness,and the hydraulic manufacturers follow requirements set by theAmerican Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) orAmerican Water Works Association (AWWA) forspecific pipe materials.
Typical pipe materials for small diameter sanitary sewers (8" through 24" diameter) include PVC, vitrified clay, and ductile iron. Typical average costs for sanitary sewers (excluding service connections and manholes) are provided in Table 2. The cost per linear foot in the table is based on an average trench depth of eight feet and excludes
