Abstract
This paper discusses actual experiences with failures of ductile iron pipe (DIP). Included are evaluations of the causes of the failures, the impact of various soil environments on DIP, and the effectiveness of polyethylene encasement and the standard factory applied asphaltic coating as corrosion control methods. Corrosion control methods that would have prevented these failures are also discussed.
