TWIN CULVERT PIPES TAKE 36 YEARS IN STRIDE
AN EVALUATION WAS MADE OF ARMCO MULTI-PLATE PIPES WHICH WERE INSTALLED 34 YEARS AGO AS A REPLACEMENT FOR AN OLD BRIDGE. THE TWIN PIPES, 120 INCHES IN DIAMETER, WERE COMPOSED OF CURVED AND CORRUGATED SEGMENTS OF HEAVY STEEL THAT WERE BOLTED TOGETHER TO PROVIDE A FULL-ROUND DRAINAGE CONDUIT. CLOSE INSPECTION OF THE PIPES REVEALED THAT THEY ARE EXPECTED TO LAST ANOTHER 35 YEARS. THEY ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR USE IN SIMILAR LOCATIONS.
