Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Hydraulic thrust forces are created due to change of direction, reduction in diameter, and at the end of pipelines under pressure during operation, which may cause joint separation if anchor blocks or anchoring devices are not provided in the pipeline. One of the most common methods of providing resistance to thrust forces is the use of thrust blocks. But construction of thrust blocks requires immense time and generates a large carbon footprint. Every government, private, and industrial sector is trying their best to cut down on CO2 emissions. Pipeline constructions are lagging in these environmental aspects. This paper showcases various economic and environmental benefits of using double chamber restrained joint pipes and fittings in thrust block locations in a ductile iron pipeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
