High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe has become the ideal piping solution for public and private sewer and wastewater systems in recent decades. While more traditional materials, such as concrete, ductile iron, or PVC are subject to corrosion, fatigue and chemical attack, HDPE sanitary sewer pipe solves these issues and features a service life of 100 years, making it the ideal, low-maintenance investment for any municipal or private sewer owner.
Benefits Of Hdpe Pipes For Wastewater Systems And Sewers
When compared to other common wastewater piping system materials, such as PVC, ductile iron, or concrete, HDPE pipe offers significant benefits. Some of these include:
Chemical Resistance. Hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S) corrosion is a serious threat to conventional sewer lines, like concrete and ductile iron, greatly reducing their service life. WL Plastics HDPE pipe is not attacked, corroded or degraded by H2S, ensuring a service life of 100 years.
Anti-corrosive properties. HDPE piping systems are immune to the harmful effects of corrosion and tuberculation, common factors that reduces the operational life of concrete and ductile iron wastewater systems. HDPE also resists other corrosive or harmful agents, including scaling and organics such as fungi, bacteria, and other microbial contaminants.
Leak-free. HDPE pipe is joined together via heat fusion, creating a welded, leak-free joint unlike conventional bell and spigot joints. These leak-free joints prevent infiltration and exfiltration making it a truly sanitary piping system.
Durability. HDPE pipe is resistant to fatigue from water hammer and surge events in sewer force mains. HDPE pipe is also abrasion resistant, ensuring that flowing water and slurries won’t damage the pipe throughout its service life.
Lightweight. HDPE pipes are much lighter in weight compared with ductile iron or concrete alternatives, which makes transportation and installation significantly easier and safer.
Cost-effectiveness. HDPE pipe is cost competitive with other sewer pipe options. HDPE pipe is faster, easier, and safer to install due to longer cut lengths and more linear footage per truck, which significantly reduce the overall project costs. With low maintenance costs and long service life, HDPE pipe is the ideal solution for wastewater systems.
