BS 9295- Structural Design of Buried Pipes Trenchless Tea-break
Don Ridgers – Structural design of buried pipes – Recent improvements made to the Guidance and Future direction
The UK standards and Guidance which cover the Structural Design of Buried pipes has been overhauled in recent years in response to industry needs and materials innovation. Don will outline the evolution of the structural design standard and changes that were made in putting together BS9295:2020 Guide to the structural design of buried pipes, as well as outlining the committee’s vision for the future of this guide. This will also explain why the committee believes that the guidance needs to change and be extended.
Phillip Clisham – Next steps – What we need to do to develop the next version of BS 9295
When preparing BS9295:2020, the BSi committee identified a number of gaps in the guidance provided to those undertaking structural design of buried pipes. This presentation will summarise the gaps associated with trenchless installation that were identified. Some of these gaps require additional research whilst others could be filled following desk-based exercises. Very little guidance is provided in the current version of BS9295 on how to assess the adequacy of the structural design of pipes installed by trenchless methods.
