200' of 60" PressureCast Steel Pipe (PCSP) was manufactured in California, stored and shipped without struts or end caps, and installed in a wetlands project for the Tarrant Regional Water District in Texas. The PCSP was manufactured using a spun cast manufacturing technique, and required some variations in reinforcement as the pipe manufacturer refined the manufacturing technique. The pipe was installed in native sandy clay bedding material. This paper presents the issues encountered and addressed during pipe design and manufacturing, and the pipe performance after handling, installation, and testing.
