Thrust BlocksThrust Blocks
Not required for fully welded systems as in ABS, PP, PVC-U, PB or PE
Required for rubber ring systems as used for DICL, MSCL, GRP & PVC-U/O/M
Design basis – Steady state pressure– Unsteady state pressure spikes– Hydrostatic test pressure

Water TableWater Table
Water hydrostatic level applies load onto pipe-refer AS2566
Rising water applies uneven load onto pipe and the pipe may buckle or exceed its strain limit
Water may cause flotation of empty pipe and special embedment may be necessary
High water table increases construction difficulty– Safety– Dewatering– Quality
