Stormwater pipes get hammered!

Stormwater pipes appear to be the PUP assets most frequently damaged by following trades and service installations both in private developments and Council roads. This image shows a DN375 FRC stormwater pipe with Armco guardrail posts hammered through the pipe walls. This was no accident as the stormwater and guardrail installations were both shown on the design drawings being 'followed' by the principal contractor. Fortunately full length reline can heal these wounds and provide 100years design service life to match the FRC pipes.

I'll show some typical stormwater pipe wounds and their healing methods in the following edition.
