Why choose HDPE drainage pipe for large projects?
When embarking on a civil engineering project, choosing the right materials for the drainage pipes system will influence the quality and sustainability of the project. For large drainage projects, HDPE drainage pipes have become a preferred choice due to their excellent material characteristics, combined with superiority in terms of compliance certification, project application, cost effectiveness and economic construction. Industry practice and market tests have also proven the effectiveness of HDPE drainage pipes in various engineering environments, making them an indispensable engineering material for large scale drainage projects.
Outstanding HDPE Pipe Material Features
HDPE drainage pipes have exceptional material features that perform throughout various harsh engineering environments. HDPE pipes have strong resistance to corrosion from chemical sewage and soil. Its material flexibility and sinkage resistance allows its function to adapt to minor shifts in ground deformation such as in large projects without compromising the integrity of the pipe. For large drainage projects, Sn8 Sn10 Sn12.5 series HDPE pipes have high stiffness at the rings which allows them to withstand massive soil and vehicular traffic on top of them while keeping the drainage system stable. Also, the fusion technology used in the fittings of the HDPE pipes provides a fully leak proof connection and eliminates the issue of leaking pipe joints that is common in large scale drainage projects.
Certification and Standards Authoritative Compliance
To be used for construction projects, materials such as HDPE drainage pipes, must meet construction industry and international standards and certifications. The HDPE drainage pipes are certified for the manufacturing and production processes involved for the construction of the pipes and comply with the GB/T19001-2008 quality management systems certification, which integrates the quality of all processes from the raw materials selected to the final delivery of the product. Furthermore, the HDPE drainage pipes guarantee a raw material utilization of 100%. In addition, all of its product parameters (like pressure bearing capacity etc), are in compliance with the industry standard requirements. As an example, SDR11 series HDPE PE100 pipes satisfy the pressure bearing criteria required for urban water supply and drainage renovation projects. This shows compliance to the standards for acceptance for large construction projects.
The results of the use of HDPE drainage pipes in various global large-scale projects is gained for the first time, and a number of typical overseas engineering cases have proven, for the first time, the reliability of HDPE drainage pipes. In Puerto Rico, the first stable supply chain for local large drainage projects was established, and a sufficient number of HDPE double wall corrugated pipes was provided. The project side of the Puerto Rico project provided several years of positive feedback regarding the installation and operation of the drainage pipes. Additionally, while the Lusaka sustainable water source project faced complex geologically challenges, the HDPE drainage pipes proved adaptable enough to the local soil and climate environments to provide the project with guaranteed effective drainage. Lastly, customers in Eastern Europe have praised the excellent quality of the HDPE pipes and accessories used in large drainage projects, making this use, for the first time, of a European engineering project a typical example of the application of HDPE drainage pipes.
Cost Efficient for the Entire Life Cycle
Because of the scope of the work, cost control for the entire life cycle tends to be more developed for larger projects, and there are clear cost advantages from HDPE drainage pipes here. During the production phase, the economy of scale drives high cost efficiency for this product. During the construction phase, the lightweight nature of the HDPE pipe aids in easier transport and installation, and the hot melt connection method makes for a shorter construction period, thus saving significant dollars in labor and construction equipment costs. During the operational and maintenance phases, HDPE pipes are life cycle cost efficient, as they are serviceable for more than 50 years and their corrosion resistance and leak-proof characteristics substantially reduce the costs associated with maintenance and replacements. Throughout all phases from construction to operation, HDPE drainage pipes, when compared to conventional pipe materials, provide the best cost structure optimization, thereby increasing the ROI for large scale projects.
Construction Made Easier
The advantages of the full range of product specifications and accessories of the drainage pipes made the construction process of large-scale projects efficient and easy. The drainage pipes have various specifications like drainage series with large diameter pipes and a set of special accessories like elbows and flange sleeves of various sizes. This avoids the hassle of large projects requiring separate accessory purchases. The complete product system enables large construction projects with shorter construction periods to do One Stop Procurement, which directly increases the efficiency of construction and the speed of the drainage system installation. In addition, the custom made HDPE drainage pipes can be made to suit the needs of the drainage system, including length, diameter, and size. This accommodates the various design requests of large-scale drainage projects.
Because of a mix of excellent material performance, complete authoritative certification, numerous practical examples, and reasonable cost, HDPE drainage pipe has become a top material choice for large-scale projects. With global infrastructure continually developing, the use of this material for large-scale drainage projects is sure to grow. Thanks to the ongoing improvements to production technology and product performance, HDPE drainage pipe will continue to give large-scale engineering projects reliable and effective drainage solutions, and will continue to support high-quality infrastructure construction.
