I have an upcoming project where the RDP has designed a (new
construction) 4" san. sewer pvc line to be installed inside "to
be poured" concrete grade beams and tied in-place to the various
steel reinforcement stirrups and other steel reinforcement with
wire, so as to prevent displacement & sagging.
I am not familiar with this type of "bedding of the piping" and am
concerned about potential damage to the pvc (1.) when the
concrete is placed on top of & around it, and (2.) contact of the
pvc piping with the steel - - i.e. pressure points on the pvc piping.
QUESTION # 1: Has anyone had any experience with this type of
piping installation, with the pvc piping installed inside a reinforced
grade beam type cage around it and concrete consolidated around
it?
QUESTION # 2: Would you be concerned about the overall
integrity of this type of installation, and if so, what code section
should I reference to address / possibly correct to another
alternative method? We are using the 2006 IPC & other I-codes.
Thanks ya`ll!
