Pipe Encasement Flotation – Archimedes was the Man!

Ep 228 Pipe Encasement Flotation – Archimedes was the Man! –The Pipeline Podcast – Ep 228 Pipe Encasement Flotation – Archimedes was the Man! – With Scott Jennings Listen to this latest episode of “The Pipeline Podcast” where Scott Jennings talks about “Pipe Encasement Flotation” – In this podcast, Scott explains the relation of buoyancy to construction and how easy it is to calculate the buoyancy force on, say, a pipe within a concrete encasement pour. In this episode, the calculation of pipe flotation (in a concrete encasement pour) is explained.  This allows the Contractor to design adequate tiedown for each stick of pipe. Estimation is an important and a high level skill, but knowing the math behind it and being able to analyze this gives the Contractor a greater understanding and will prevent construction mishaps. I hope you find this episode as informative and as exciting as we have. Please let us know your thoughts about the episode!
