Can be electro-fused in narrow and short trenches |
| |
High inherent stability |
| |
Possible in large diameters |
| |
The pipe wall can be customized to withstand specific earth loads. |
| |
Manholes are fabricated with Krah extrusion-welding units from Krah pipe stock. |
| |
The entire sewer systems are permanently tight |
| |
High ring stiffness compared to the weight of the pipe |
| |
Quick and easy installation |
| |
No axial displacements due to profile anchorage in soil |
| |
Abrasion resistant |
| |
Inspection friendly due to bright coloured co-extruded pipe wall |
| |
Especially significant for sewer applications, HDPE is inert to hydrogen sulfide, a gas commonly found in sewers. HDPE is also resistant to hot soil conditions (pH between 1.0 and 5.0). |
| |
Resistant to earth movement and plant roots |
| |
Easy house connections: Tapping does not affect wall stability. Easy to install and connect to PVC and other materials. |
| |
Connections to concrete manholes and other systems (special connectors with integrated electro-fusion) |
| |
In addition to electro-fusion, other jointing methods are possible: flanged, gasketed, and extrusion-welded joints. |
