2 BOSS 3000 the next generation of BOSS pipe. BIGGER. STRONGER. BETTER. Armtec is excited to introduce BOSS 3000, the latest evolution in Steel Reinforced Polyethylene (SRPE) drainage pipe. Galvanized steel is encased in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) to deliver outstanding strength and durability in a lightweight product. BOSS 3000 s 320 kpa pipe stiffness meets the demanding requirements of today s municipal markets and provides better value for the tax dollar. Manufactured in Canada, it is tested and meets all requirements of the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards B and B PIPE STIFFNESS MADE IN BOSS 3000 features a proven bell and gasket joining system providing watertight performance BOSS 3000 s unique omega shaped steel rib profile and smooth interior optimizes structural integrity without sacrificing hydraulic performance. BOSS 3000 pipe is completely encased in HDPE, providing an abrasion resistant and chemically inert pipe offering best in class corrosion resistance. Specify BOSS 3000 with confidence on your next project. 2 VISIT ARMTEC.COM FOR MORE INFORMATION

3 BOSS 3000 SRPE PIPE With its innovative helical HDPE encapsulated galvanized steel ribs, BOSS 3000 delivers a 320 kpa pipe stiffness in diameters from 1050 to 2100 mm (42 to 84 in). This lightweight and highly inert pipe features a smooth interior wall to ensure optimal hydraulics. Its bell and gasketed spigot joints allow simple field connection and superior joint integrity, meeting the most conservative sewer pipe performance needs. BOSS 3000 is factory tested and meets all requirements of CSA standards B and B TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Storm sewers Sanitary trunk sewers Stormwater storage Reline Culverts? Did you know that unlike traditional sewer materials, HDPE is resistant to corrosion caused by hydrogen sulphide gas and sulphuric acid present in sanitary sewer systems? QUICK INSTALLATION Convenient bell and gasket joining system Long pipe lengths with fewer joints compared to traditional pipe materials STRONG Increased ring stiffness allows large diameters to maintain shape and control deflection COST EFFECTIVE Less heavy equipment and manpower required for installation CHEMICAL/ ABRASION RESISTANT Highly resistant to abrasive environments and chemical attack from corrosive sanitary sewer gases and liquids LIGHTWEIGHT Allows ease of handling and storage plus economical transportation HYDRAULIC PERFORMANCE The smooth interior optimizes flow and minimizes slope designs ARMTEC DRAINAGE SOLUTIONS 3

6 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES GROUND SURFACE As a flexible pipe, the key to a successful installation of BOSS 3000 is achieving stable and permanent support through the selection and compaction of proper embedment materials. Complete guidelines and procedures can be found in the BOSS 3000 Installation Guide Technical Bulletin B based on CSA standard B Recommended Practice for Installation of Thermoplastic Drain, Storm, and Sewer Pipe and Fittings or BNQ COVER PIPE ZONE SPRINGLINE EXCAVATED TRENCH WIDTH PIPE WIDTH PIPE FOUNDATION HAUNCHING INITIAL BACKFILL FINAL BACKFILL (NOT REQUIRED IN ALL CASES) BEDDING PIPE EMBEDMENT 1. FOUNDATION PREPARATION The pipe must rest on a smooth, stable foundation, free of rocks and clumps. 2. BEDDING Bedding should consist of compacted well-graded granular material, levelled to the proper grade. 3. HAUNCHING Haunching should be the same material as bedding, placed and compacted in successive lifts of 150 mm, up to the springline of the pipe and compacted to 95% Standard Proctor Density. 4. INITIAL BACKFILL Backfill should be the same material as for haunching, extending from the springline to 300 mm above pipe crown for diameters of 1800 mm or less, or 400 mm for the 2100 mm diameter. Compaction should be to 95% Standard Proctor Density. Avoid impacting pipe with compaction equipment. 5. FINAL BACKFILL Select native materials may be used for final backfill, depending on the application. Backfill material shall be free of large rocks, clay or frozen material.
