Why Specify HDPE Pipes

Why Specify HDPE Pipes

WL Plastics HDPE pipes are exceptionally lightweight compared to other piping materials, leading to significant savings in shipping, handling, and installation costs. The flexibility of WL Plastics HDPE pipes allows them to adapt easily by bending around curves and contours, minimizing the need for directional fittings and effectively lowering installation expenses. They maintain their flexibility even under subfreezing conditions, making them ideal for diverse environments. Additionally, installation costs can be significantly diminished with trenchless techniques that avoid disrupting and restoring landscapes, roads, or driveways. These trenchless methods enable the placement of WL Plastics HDPE pipes beneath water bodies such as rivers, ponds, and reservoirs, as well as under existing structures.

Moreover, techniques like sliplining and pipe bursting facilitate the rehabilitation of outdated pipelines, allowing for the installation of new, leak-resistant WL Plastics HDPE pipes without the need to excavate the old lines. This innovative approach allows for enhancing pipeline capacity easily by inserting a larger line through the existing deteriorated one.
