Any type of pipe or structure, including concrete, will float. To preventpipe flotation, a minimum amount of cover is required. The minimum coverrecommended to prevent pipe flotation is shown in Table 14.Minimum Cover to Prevent FlotationRequired Minimum CoverNominal Diameter (in)Minimum Cover (1) (in)4 36 48 510 712 915 1118 1324 1730 2236 2542 2948 3360 40Table 14Notes:1. Water table is assumed to be at the ground surface as is usually the casewith saturated soils.2. Saturated soil density is 130 pcf with an internal angle of friction of O=0.37.3. The pipe barrel is assumed to be empty.4. The mean diameter of the pipe is used to calculate boyancy.5.6.4 Ground Water Control60 EAGLE CORR PE INSTALLATION GUIDE
