How does the cost of HDPE Pipe compare to traditional materials?

HDPE pipe is a cost-effective solution for stormwater conveyance and drainage. With low production and install costs, it compares favourably to many traditional pipe systems – particularly with regard to on-site, freight and labour costs. Due to its lightweight composition, longer lay lengths, ease of installation and lack of bell holes, HDPE can represent significant […]

Is HDPE Pipe trafficable?

Yes. HDPE pipe that is installed with appropriate backfill is laterally supported, which ensures load-bearing capacity and trafficability. Vertical external loads (such as above-ground traffic) place deflective forces on HDPE pipe. However, this vertical deflection is resisted by the horizontal pressure of the backfill surrounding the pipe. The resulting horizontal pressures mean that the forces

What are the advantages of HDPE Pipe compared to RCP Pipe?

HDPE pipe is characterised by its lightweight yet structurally strong formula and offers a strong alternative to RCP pipe for stormwater applications. High density polyethylene is a polymer that is inherently resistant to corrosion, abrasion and other environmental factors. The resilience, durability and ease of installation of HDPE make it a great alternative to other

What are the advantages of HDPE Pipe over Polypropylene Pipe?

HDPE (high-density polyethylene) and polypropylene are polymers used throughout plastic pipe applications in many industries. These polymers have different physical properties which reflect their chemical compositions and formulation. There are many benefits to choosing HDPE compositions for pipe systems over polypropylene, including. These include but are not limited to – Better deflection and stress resistance

What’s the maximum cover and backfill installation requirements for AtlanFlow ADS Pipe?

The maximum cover of Atlan Flow is dependent on the diameter of the pipe and the specifications of the backfill used. If backfill does not meet required quality checks, is poorly compacted or is graded incorrectly, the maximum cover will not be able to be achieved. For traffic applications total minimum cover is 300mm for

What is HDPE?

HDPE is an acronym for high-density polyethylene, which is a polymer suitable for fluid and gas conveyance. Atlan Flow ADS Pipe is our HDPE pipe system – we use this pipe to convey stormwater in a wide range of projects and applications. Polyethylene is durable and chemically resistant. Its ability to resist corrosion and abrasion
