Polyethylene

Polyethylene (PE) pipes and fittings provide a long-term, reliable solution for today’s pipeline requirements with reduced maintenance and operational costs over traditional materials. The characteristics of PE allow it to be used in areas where ground movement occurs and where aggressive ground conditions are present.

The benefits of using a PE system include:

Light-Weight
Fittings are lighter in weight than traditional materials such as ductile iron.

This reduces health and safety risks and the need for large, expensive on-site machinery.

Non-Corrodible
PE does not corrode and therefore offers long-term reliability.

50 Year Design Life
This provides overall life cost savings.

Flexibility
Pipes can be provided in coils to save on transport and storage costs and has excellent surge resistance. It is also the ideal choice for trenchless installation and reduces the number of joints required in the pipeline.

Smooth Internal Bore
Ensures efficient supply.

Excellent Chemical Resistance

Fully End Load Bearing
No thrust blocks or anchors are required, easing installation and saving costs.

Good Insulation Characteristics
Suitable for use in high and low temperature climates aiding design flexibility.
