into one of North America’s premiere manufacturers of gaskets, connectors and other sealing

components for underground infrastructure, operating out of two world-class facilities in Toronto,

Ontario and Winchester, Tennessee.

Hamilton Kent products can now be found in countless underground infrastructure projects in North

America, from the pipes supplying clean water to municipal customers to the sanitary sewer pipelines

taking the wastewater away for treatment.

“In 70 years, a lot of things have changed. But many things have stayed the same. Quality products are

still critical for keeping underground infrastructure watertight and great customer service is still valued,”

says Bernard Grégoire, President and C.O.O., Hamilton Kent. “As we celebrate our 70th birthday this

year, we’re proud of our contributions to underground infrastructure and pleased that Hamilton Kent is

still regarded as North America’s premier manufacturer for sealing buried systems and components.”

CCPA joining forces with local producers to exhibit at TAC conference

The Canadian Concrete Pipe Association is joining forces with

Lafarge, Inland Pipe, and Expocrete/Oldcastle with facilities in

the Saskatchewan and Manitoba region to staff an exhibit at the

Transportation Association of Canada conference and

exhibition in Winnipeg, September 22 to 25.

The conference features a wide variety of technical, social,

professional, and networking events, and is expected to attract

some 800 public and private sector transportation delegates.

The conference is hosted by Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation and the City of Winnipeg.

ePipes Guide In Making Informative Decisions The American Concrete Pipe Association has published many ePipes that guide you in making

informative decisions. ePipe # e-009 compares Polypropylene and Polyethylene. "According to the

Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI), the plastic pipe industry has taken risks to come up with new products to

“improve” the storm water industry and “these changes were very risky as they involved major

redesigns and significant investments in equipment and tooling that if incorrect, would result in very

expensive boat anchors for the manufacturers.”

Concrete pipe and box articles published in 2013 Concrete pipe in North America has a long history of dependability and performance. Quality of product

and performance standards has made concrete a preferred material for many traditional sanitary and

storm sewer applications. Precast reinforced concrete pipe and boxes have created niche markets where

never before envisioned. Such markets include geothermal air exchange; chambers for utilities and

services; marine current deflectors, walls and small dams; animal and pedestrian crossings of rail lines

and highways; tunnels for railways and raw material conveyances; storm water storage and retention

chambers for rainwater harvesting; small bridge structures; jacking and tunneling applications; and,

marine outfalls and fresh water intakes. Applications for concrete pipe and box systems are limited only

by the imagination of infrastructure designers and physics.

The concrete pipe industry and its associations regularly publish product applications in trade and

industry publications throughout Canada and the United States, and many published articles become

archived on Web sites. Following is a summary of selected articles published since January 2013.

Editorial: Autonomy Under MAP-21 Means Greater Attention To Standard of Care for

Engineers

Responsibility now lies with the engineer involved

in State infrastructure design, specifications, value

engineering, and construction to deliver a constructible

Sewer Separation Project Improves Water Quality and Accommodates Growth

Concrete pipe is being used to install storm and sanitary sewers on the $15.8 million Nicholas Street Phase 1 Project

in Omaha, Nebraska. Three, 108-inch diameter storm sewers and one 24-inch diameter sanitary sewer are being

extended west from Abbott Drive. An existing combined sewer on 11th Street was removed and replaced with a

new storm and sanitary sewer, and a new sanitary sewer was constructed along Clark Street. The project had one

railroad crossing where jack and bore methods were

required. All pipes were constructed with confined O-ring joints3. The project improves water quality in the

Missouri River by removing a large volume of stormwater runoff from a combined sewer system, and increases

storm sewer capacity in an underserved area.

Life of Historic Sewer Extended with RCP

A 60-inch diameter brick combined sewer built in the 1860s serving downtown New Haven and Yale University

was separated, leaving the brick sewer to continue carrying a lower volume of sanitary sewage while storm water

was redirected to a new 72-inch diameter reinforced concrete storm sewer. The brick sewer had collected storm

water from building roof leaders, runoff from streets and parking lots, and about 120 acres of previously separated

storm water from upstream areas. It required separation because it could no longer accommodate increased

combined flows during heavy rain and snowfall.

Precast Box Underpass for Golf Carts and Maintenance Vehicles

The UDOT Design Team and Copper Hills Constructors worked with Geneva Pipe and Precast to design a 264 foot,

18-foot x 12-foot precast box pedestrian underpass under the newly constructed Mountain View Corridor (SR-85)

State freeway in northern Utah. Precast concrete was favored over cast-in-place due to the speed of installation and

consistent quality characteristic of precast concrete

installations.

Mega Project Required Mega Boxes for Nevada Monsoons

The Tenaya – Decatur drainage project1 in the northern portion of the Las Vegas Valley specified over 3 miles of

reinforced concrete boxes (RCB) to accommodate seasonal monsoons. Mega boxes were used for 1.5 miles of a three

mile segment. The mega box order consisted of 1,592 feet of dual barrel (15-foot x 9-foot) box; 736 feet of four barrel

(13.5-foot x 10-foot) box; and, 732 feet of four barrel (13.5-feet x 9-foot) box sections. In addition, there was over 3.5

miles of reinforced concrete pipe (RCP)

ranging in sizes from 18 to 66 inches.

Port Canaveral Reinforces Its Storm Pipe Infrastructure

During summer 2012, a pothole and subsidence occurred in the employee parking lot of Cruise Terminal 10 at Port

Canaveral, Florida. Canaveral Port Authority determined that a 400-feet run of 60-inch diameter high-density

polyethylene (HDPE) storm pipe needed to be replaced with reinforced concrete pipe (RCP). On September 19,

2012, the Canaveral Port Authority Commission authorized a $325,000 increase to an existing Doug Wilson

Enterprises contract for the replacement. Doug

Wilson Enterprises subcontracted with Renegade Underground, which purchased 60-inch ASTM C 76 Class III RCP

from Rinker Materials Concrete Pipe Division.

Editorial: ACPA is a Knowledge-based Industry Association

An industrial association does not prosper non-stop for 105 years without embracing a core

business acumen. The creation of new knowledge through data collection and analysis to

form information that translates into knowledge has characterized the ACPA since its

inception. ACPA has always shared its knowledge about concrete and precast drainage

products, competitive materials, and thermoplastic and corrugated steel conduit.

An After Bid CMP Proposal Falls Short! Sound Engineering Worth More

Than Initial Pipe Price

A 4-barrel, 96-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipe detention system was designed for a Lexus automobile

dealership in Nashville, Tennessee. Each of the barrels had a length of 160 feet connected with a precast concrete

pipe and precast junction box manifold system. Storm water had to be detained on site then drained very slowly.

Installed Costs a Key Consideration for Specifying RCP

Rigid and flexible pipe products are designed to react differently in the field. When installation specifications

accurately account for these differences, and are combined with a cost analysis of the pipe envelope, the result is the

construction of a pipeline that will perform as expected. The Greens on Gardiner stormwater trunk sewer (Regina,

SK) was Completed in May 2011. The installation demonstrates how concrete pipe can be competitive with pipe

materials with a less expensive unit price. Regina’s specification for the construction of storm sewers is a well-

researched document that recognizes that flexible and rigid pipe interact differently with the surrounding soil and

have major inherent differences that must be considered in the design of a pipeline.

Pony Truss Bridge Replaced with Precast Boxes

A pony truss bridge constructed in 1965 in Monona County Iowa was replaced with twin precast concrete boxes 47

years later. The county engineer let the bridge replacement project in August 14, 2012 near Mapleton, Iowa. He

specified a precast concrete box culvert with an alternative corrugated Multiplate® or Superspan®. Price was not

the lone determinate in selecting material and product for the structure. A bridge condition survey attributed to the

National Bridge Inventory reported in 2011 that the bridge was structurally deficient.

Highway Storm Drainage Controlled with Pipe and Boxes

Hanson Pipe & Precast1 supplied more than 6 miles (33,000 feet) of reinforced concrete pipe and over 8 miles

(43,000 feet) of reinforced concrete boxes for Segment E2 of the Grand Parkway project near Houston, Texas. These

products will manage basic stormwater runoff between two major thoroughfares, Interstate 10 and Highway 290.

The sewers and culverts prevent flooding and keep traffic flow moving during days of heavy rains. The 15-mile

stretch from Katy Freeway to Northwest Freeway is designed for a four-lane controlled access toll road that serves

as part of a larger loop surrounding the greater Houston area. Segment E will have a large impact on the growth

and accessibility of Houston, and impact the viability of the area for years.

http://www.concrete-pipe.org/magazine/2013wintercpnews.html

Special Manhole for Speed and Performance

Hanson’s supply of two special 5-sided wastewater manholes as well as several additional manholes for 48-inch

diameter sewer mains, demonstrated the versatility of precast concrete drainage products to be delivered on site,

ready for installation – according to schedule.

Addendum Addresses Standard of Care for Plastic Pipe

A sanitary sewer project was released for tender by the City of London in early 2013. The

sanitary sewer was designed using reinforced concrete pipe. However, the contract also

included a trial section of 65 metres of 900mm polypropylene plastic pipe. The plastic pipe in

question was offered free of charge by the Ohio based producer of this pipe. There are major

differences between reinforced concrete pipe and plastic pipe. Drainage systems and sewer

systems constructed from concrete pipe and plastic pipe have to be designed differently and

installed differently. The consulting engineer for the City of London project recognized those

differences and issued a comprehensive addendum to address the design and installation of a relatively large

plastic pipe.

OCPA Executive Director Interviewed for Engineering Dimensions Article

Gerry Mulhern, P.Eng., Executive Director of the Ontario Concrete Pipe Association was interviewed by

Engineering Dimensions for an article entitled Shedding new light on the nature and inevitability of RISK.

Polypropylene Pipe Floatation at Columbus Airport

In July 2012, a 1,500mm diameter polypropylene plastic storm pipe was discovered to have succumbed to

groundwater hydrostatic forces at the Port Columbus International Airport in Columbus, Ohio. The polypropylene

storm pipe literally floated out of the ground.

Unique Precast Post Tensioned Overflow Structure Designed for West Don Lands Stormwater Conveyance

System

The City of Toronto’s approach to stormwater management is hierarchical meaning that control systems must first

be implemented at the source, then conveyance controls and then lastly end-of-pipe controls. The real engineering

challenge comes in managing this large quantity of stormwater and treating it to meet the stormwater quality

requirements in a cost effective way. Large processing volumes generally require large, expensive equipment. In

order to reduce the size of the processing equipment the consulting design engineers, R.V. Anderson Associates

Limited, used the main shaft of the new outfall conveyance system as a storage space for storm water. The 12 metre

diameter shaft was also used to launch the tunnel boring machine (TBM) which tunnelled the three metre diameter

concrete-lined rock tunnels under major roads and utilities.

OCPA Partners with Town of Milton on 2015 Pan AM Games Velodrome

The Pan American Games are the world’s third largest international multi-sport Games held every four years in the

year preceding the Olympic Summer Games. When the Town of Milton contacted the Ontario Concrete Pipe

Association about partnering in this project through in-kind donations of pipe materials for the velodrome site, the

members of OCPA were eager to support such a valuable community project. OCPA staff worked with the sewer

design engineers at AMEC and the sewer contractor Niran to determine the strength class of 525mm diameter

concrete pipe required for the sanitary sewer system.

Logos that contain subliminal messaging

By Dominic Green | Business Insider – Wed, 15 May, 2013

Whether you realize it or not, a brand's logo speaks to its viewer on many levels.

There's the initial recognisability factor—if a logo is too complex or unrelated to its brand, it risks being

glanced over without communicating its brand's message. For that reason, modern logos tend to err on

the side of boldness and simplicity.

But a closer look at many logos reveals more subtle marketing tactics.

You may have noticed the subliminal features of some of these designs in the past. But have you looked

hard enough to see them all?

FedEx— The FedEx logo hides an arrow in its negative space. Even a glance subliminally inspires

thoughts of efficiency and forward motion.
