Session Overview

This session will help owners and designers understand the differences in rigid vs flexible storm sewer pipe. Connecting highway projects are typically owned by a municipality, designed by a consultant and let by WisDOT. Should it be the municipality, WisDOT, the low bid contractor, or the design consultant that ultimately decides on what pipe type should be used?

Primary Learning Objectives

Evaluate the difference between rigid and flexible pipe.
Determine who decides what pipe to use on a WisDOT let project
Recognize the challenges three communities faced with storm sewer projects let by WisDOT
