Picking the right sewer pipe size sounds like it should be one of the simpler decisions on a collection system project. In practice, it’s where the most downstream problems start – usually because the decision was made too fast. Get the size wrong in either direction, and you’re looking at a system that can’t handle – Read the full article →

What separates infrastructure that holds up for a century from infrastructure that needs attention a decade after installation? In large part, it comes down to material selection – and the decision made at the specification stage, long before a single pipe hits the ground. In Texas, where drainage systems face intense, short-duration storms, heavy highway – Read the full article →

There’s a point in every drainage design where the numbers outgrow a smaller pipe – where the watershed is too large, the design storm too intense, or the slope too flat to make a 24-inch culvert work. That’s usually when a 36-inch culvert pipe enters the picture. Capable of handling significantly higher peak flows than – Read the full article →

When a project calls for a culvert, one of the first questions that lands on the engineer’s desk is deceptively simple: What size do we need? That question shapes everything from hydraulic performance to installation complexity to long-term cost. For a wide range of Texas drainage applications – roadway crossings, stormwater conveyance, and utility corridors – Read the full article →

Stormwater runoff can wreak havoc on communities, causing flooding, erosion, and property damage. For decades, corrugated metal pipe (CMP) storm drains have been a common choice for managing this runoff. However, a more durable option is helping developers manage these issues more effectively where CMP storm drain pipe falls short: reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). Let’s – Read the full article →

Culverts, essential components of our infrastructure can lead to costly repairs and disruptions if they fail. Traditionally, Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) has been a popular choice, but Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) is increasingly recognized as a superior option. This blog delves into the reasons why RCP outperforms CMP in numerous aspects. Building for the Long – Read the full article →

Underground infrastructure is a critical component of our communities, and sometimes it’s importance only becomes abundantly clear once it fails. When it comes to pipes, the choice between Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP), Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP), HDPE Plastic Pipe, & Polypropylene Pipe (PP), and High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) can significantly impact a project’s success and longevity. This blog – Read the full article →

Underground infrastructure, such as storm drains and culverts, is a critical component of our communities, often overlooked until it fails, leading to costly repairs and disruptions. While Corrugated Metal Pipe (CMP) has been a popular choice for many years, Reinforced Concrete Pipe (RCP) is recognized as a more durable and cost-effective solution. Cost Comparison: Corrugated – Read the full article →
