PipeClass is Windows-based software for the design of pipelines and the appropriate selection of steel reinforced concrete pipe in accordance with AS/NZS4058-2007 Precast Concrete Pipes and AS/NZS3725-2007 Design for Installation of Buried Concrete Pipe.
It includes the following features:
Australian and New Zealand traffic loading:
The program incorporates the most appropriate design methods for vehicle load, as per AS/NZS3725, and uses typical vehicle loads for Australian and New Zealand conditions.
Installation specification:
The program provides the designer with generic specifications for installation conditions, in accordance with AS/NZS 3725-2007.
Short term construction loads:
Don’t forget that concrete pipes can be subjected to short-term loads on site that may not be in line with long-term live loads. The software has a long list of construction equipment loads that may be found on site before the pipeline is put in service. The loads are checked and displayed graphically to represent the true loading conditions, and to allow the designer to make the necessary adjustments.
Detailed outputs:
The completed design can be downloaded with detailed calculations to hard copy or pdf. Trench installation drawings can be converted to dxf or bmp format for inclusion into drawings. Construction load information and installation specifications can be printed or exported in word/excel format for inclusion into job specifications.
