How long will pipe segments be and how and where will they be shaped?
A. An individual piece of pipe is called a “joint.” Pipe joints for this project will be ordered in either “double random” or “triple random” lengths. The requirements for double random lengths are: the individual joints are between 14 feet and 45 feet long with the average of the entire pipe order being 35 feet per joint. The triple random length requirements are: the individual joints are between 21 feet and 65 feet long with the average of the entire order being 52.5 feet per joint. The pipe will be competitively bid, but not until the year before construction. Only established, qualified bidders will have the opportunity to present proposals. The pipe would be manufactured at the pipe manufacturer’s facility to meet the required codes and company specifications.
