Abstract:Shad Sargand (ORCID 0000-0002-1633-1045), Andrew Russ (ORCID 0000-0001-7743-2109), and Kevin White (0000-0002-2902-2524) This study investigated the potential benefits of re-rounding of thermoplastic pipe, a process for reducing the deflection of installed pipes by drawing a vibrating mandrel through the pipe. A survey of state DOTs revealed that practice is used rarely, if ever, and the literature on the topic is very sparse, limited to reports on vendor demonstrations. Two contractors were contacted and results of the interviews are included. A plan for a detailed study under controlled conditions and in the field is presented.
