[Free Download] Whitepaper: the case for plastic corrugated stormwater pipes

They’re being asked to do more with less, to build faster and more sustainably in tighter budget environments, and to find innovative ways to disrupt communities less and engage them more, all in a safer and less resource and materials-intensive working environment. 

This paper explores the ways plastic corrugated pipes made from polypropylene or polyethylene, such as Iplex’s BlackMax range, help to provide a solution to many of these challenges in an underground, stormwater management application, including under roads. 

We particularly look at this from an evidence-based point of view, including case study examples from Australia and globally and as an alternative to the heavy concrete option. 

The paper considers:

Current state of play: Why some councils default to concrete, and why this is changing

Ease of installation and safety: Public work and sustainability benefits that come with plastic pipes

Hydraulic and structural performance: How plastic pipes enhance hydraulic capacity and structural integrity with an efficient use of raw material and high pipe stiffness in a flexible pipe design.

Joint performance: How the engineered rubber ring joint resists leakage and tree root intrusion

Case studies: Lessons Australia can learn from decades of experience around the globe

With a range now expanded to DN1200 pipes, and therefore a broader application, BlackMax pipes can help councils to do their work in a lower budget environment while increasing the speed, safety and sustainability of stormwater maintenance and management. It enables engineers and water managers to do more with less.
