HDPE PIPING in Water and Sewer Applications

High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE) has been used around the world for decades and has all but replaced steel as the product of choice in the wastewater pipe industry. Alexander Tubular is proud to introduce a high quality, low cost product to our customers.

Municipal Applications

Water Supply

HDPE pipes are commonly used for water distribution systems, carrying both potable and non-potable water. They are resistant to corrosion, biological growth, and scaling.

Sewer Systems

HDPE pipes are used for sanitary and stormwater sewers due to their corrosion resistance and smooth interior, which reduces the risk of blockages.

Stormwater Management

HDPE pipes are used in stormwater management systems, including culverts, drainage pipes, and retention/detention systems to manage and control stormwater runoff.

Gas Distribution

HDPE pipes are used for the distribution of natural gas in municipal areas due to their durability and resistance to corrosion and gas permeation.

Irrigation

HDPE pipes are used for agricultural and landscape irrigation systems. Their flexibility allows for easy installation in various terrain types.

Geothermal Systems:

HDPE pipes are used in ground-source heat pump systems for both residential and municipal heating and cooling applications.

Potable Water Wells

HDPE pipes are used as well casings for potable water supply wells, preventing contamination of groundwater.

Wastewater Treatment Plants

HDPE pipes are used for conveying wastewater within treatment plants due to their resistance to corrosive elements and chemicals.

Pressure Water Mains

HDPE pipes are used in municipal pressure water systems, including water transmission lines and main distribution networks.

The versatility, durability, and resistance to corrosion and chemicals make HDPE pipes a preferred choice in a wide range of municipal and industrial applications, ensuring reliable and long-lasting infrastructure.

BENEFITS OF HDPE PIPING PRODUCTS

In Municipal Applications:

Corrosion Resistance: HDPE pipes are highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring the integrity and long-term durability of municipal water supply and sewer systems.
Chemical Resistance: HDPE pipes can handle a wide range of chemicals, making them suitable for conveying various fluids, including potable water, wastewater, and chemicals.
Leak-Proof Joints: Fusion welding creates seamless, leak-proof joints, reducing the risk of water or gas leakage and ensuring the safety and reliability of municipal systems.
Long Service Life: HDPE pipes have a long operational life, often exceeding 50 years, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.
Smooth Interior Surface: The smooth interior surface of HDPE pipes reduces friction, which improves hydraulic efficiency and lowers pumping and energy costs.
Flexibility: HDPE pipes are flexible, allowing for easy installation, particularly in areas with challenging terrain and where directional changes are needed.
Reduced Transportation Costs: HDPE pipes are lightweight, which can lead to cost savings in transportation and handling, especially in remote or difficult-to-reach areas.
Sustainable Material: HDPE is a recyclable material, contributing to environmentally friendly construction practices.
Trenchless Installation: HDPE pipes can be installed using trenchless methods, reducing disruption to urban areas during construction.
Durability: HDPE pipes are highly durable and can withstand impacts, making them suitable for installation in urban and industrial environments.
