HDPE storm pipe, made from high-density polyethylene, is widely used in stormwater drainage systems due to its durability, corrosion resistance, and flexibility. This type of pipe is especially valued for its ability to withstand the harsh environments that are typical in stormwater applications, where water can be acidic or contain various contaminants.
HDPE pipes are light in weight, which makes them easier and less expensive to transport and install compared to traditional materials like concrete or metal pipes. They are also joined using heat fusion, which creates extremely strong and leak-proof joints. The flexibility of HDPE allows it to adapt to shifting soils and resist impacts, particularly in areas susceptible to earthquakes or heavy traffic loads.
