Keith and John,
Structurally I think the system will work either way. That would make this more of an aesthetic decision. That said, I
don’t see how a standard headwall will omit the need to cut blocks, and thus, am not sure what the advantage is. If we
go with a standard headwall perhaps a continuous top cap would be in order.

This approach sounds like what is detailed in the plans for all pipes 18” or larger. See sheet 8 of 9,

Subject: Headwalls at RCP Extensions
Gentlemen,
After reviewing the plans I realized that we were going to cut blocks around the RCP pipes. (Very difficult
with a three piece system). My experience is when trying to cut block around RCP pipes it is not
aesthetically pleasing. At no cost to the city I am requesting that we be allowed to place 4 ft headwalls
around the pipes similar to the pre-existing and butt the retaining walls to each side.
Please respond to this request at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Thanks,
James (Steve). Kenney
