and other StructuresThe connection between the any type of pipe and structures is also critical tomeeting long-term expectations. Poor connections between pipe and structuresmay allow soil to infiltrate into the structure and water to exfiltrate outof the structure. This movement of materials creates voids and contributesto sink holes and differential settlement of the structure. The type of connectionrequired depends onsite conditions that include water table, systemsurcharge and in-situ soils. Additionally the types of connections may be dictatedlogistical constraints that may require field fabrication of a reliable joint.The following paragraphs describe five of the most commonly recognizedmethods of connecting pipe to structures for stormwater sanitary sewer andirrigation applications.Soil-TightThe grouted field fabricated connection is a soil-tight connection. This connectionis illustrated in Figure 20. This type of connection is one of the simplestand most reliable connection. The corrugations grouted with a nonshrinkcemetious grout form a soil-tight seal with the corrugations lockinginto the grout. This connection is field fabricated and is soil tight.Non-shrink groutManholeEagle Corr PE pipeType “A”—Soil Tight:Eagle Corr PE w/Non-Shrink grout(field fabricated)Figure 20WaterTightEAGLE CORR PE INSTALLATION GUIDE31
