PipePac offers an integrated analysis system using three independent programs: 3EB, CAPE, or LCA. This useful software helps you with your task of selecting the right material for buried infrastructure systems. PipePac lets you determine the real cost of the materials you specify over the design life of a project.

3EB Structural Calculation

Structural Calculation 3EB computes earth loads on concrete pipe in accordance with the methods presented in the concrete pipe design manuals of the Ontario Concrete Pipe Association, the American Concrete Pipe Association and Tubécon. 3EB analyzes underground pipelines for standard installation and conditions, trenches, embankments and jacked and tunneled pipe. Loads are derived using the indirect design method that relates the supporting strength of the buried pipe to the strength obtained in a three-edge bearing test through the use of bedding factors. The program analyzes all standard live loads such as aircraft and railroad loadings, as well as AASHTO and Ontario highway design loads.

Cost Analysis of Pipe Envelope - CAPE

Reduce costs and eliminate waste with CAPE. With a CAPE analysis, you get a realistic picture of the bottom line. CAPE aids in estimating the material costs of the embedment zones for both rigid and flexible pipe, and allows for the comparison of different embedment scenarios.

Life Cycle Analysis - LCA

What is the real cost of the materials you are specifying over the design life of the project? Total costs are calculated using present value, annualized costs or future value methods. LCA's ease of use decreases the limited costs of conducting economic analysis and promotes more cost effective designs.
