This handbook delivers a complete reference for designing and constructing durable PVC pipe systems. It covers hydraulic principles, structural design considerations, and material selection best practices.
Design fundamentals: flow calculations, head losses, and pressure ratings
Material specifications: resin types, stiffness classes, and long-term performance
Joint systems: gasketed, solvent-weld, and restrained connections
Installation procedures: trench excavation, bedding, alignment, and deflection limits
Inspection, maintenance, and troubleshooting guidelines
 
Ideal for engineers, contractors, and municipal planners seeking a single resource for PVC pipeline projects.  Handbook of PVC Pipe Design and Construction is used on the Florida CUC Underground Utility & Excavation Contractor's exam.
