Durapipe: The Future of Sustainable Drainage Solutions
Let's face it, drainage isn't the most glamorous part of infrastructure. But Durapipe offers a reliable and sustainable solution that is worth considering. This high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe system is built for long-term performance and engineered for long-term performance. Hot roll forming creates its structured wall, a unique feature that uses single-wall polypropylene (PP) to support it. This gives it resistance to external forces. And because every project is different, Durapipe systems can be easily customized. Need a PR, OP, or CPR profile? Atlanta got you covered. Sizes begin at 300mm, expanding to 3500mm in diameter.
Why choose Durapipe? Well, the material has advantages over concrete. Think of Durapipe as being almost immune to common construction environments. You can plan for a century because it resists acids and bases, which minimizes upkeep. Its inner surface allows smaller diameters for equivalent hydraulic performance as concrete. You will also see benefits in material costs and installation. Durapipe provides solutions for earthquake-prone locations. It can bend and flex. The materials are joined tightly using electrofusion, a strong and safe method that creates 100% leak-tight connections, forming a monolithic, homogenous bond that prevents both infiltration and exfiltration, safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem and preventing groundwater contamination.
You'll find Durapipe used across all sorts of settings. From city drainage to airport runways, it handles a wide array of applications. You may be wondering, "What other applications does it have?" Its smooth inner surface makes it ideal for moving wastewater and slurry material. Think power plants, irrigation networks, water containment and processing, and even hydroelectricity penstocks!
Installing the Durapipe system depends on proper equipment and practices. One of the best installation methods is called electrofusion welding, where a generator sends power to heating wires inside Durapipe to fuse the sections. Atlanta Industries Inc. has a specialized welding team ready to assist with installing the Durapipe system.
Choosing Durapipe not only means you’re solving a drainage problem, but it is also an investment long into a sustainable future because polyethylene and polypropylene can be recycled. Moreover, the components are resistant to corrosion and degradation from microbes, termites, and rodents. It is approved by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and conforms to international standards. This gives you the confidence that Durapipe offers high-quality, durable, and sustainable solutions to modern drainage challenges.
