Enviropipes Advantage
Pressurised Water, Gas and Process Fluid Piping
HDPE systems provide a competitive and long-lasting alternative to traditional piping materials. Their lightweight nature, longer standard pipe lengths, and efficient jointing methods enable faster installation, reduced traffic disruption, and lower overall project costs.
Cost-Effective Installation
The extremely low weight of Enviropipes products enables faster and simpler installation—often without the need for heavy machinery. Most handling can be performed by hand or with standard on-site equipment such as excavators, significantly reducing installation time and labour costs.
Proven Longevity
Enviropipes’ HDPE and polypropylene products provide a service life of over 50 years across a wide range of applications. The WSAA Polyethylene Pipeline Code predicts an operational life in excess of 100 years before major rehabilitation is required.
Fast, Reliable Jointing
Rubber ring and electrofusion joint options provide quick and secure connections, helping to streamline installation across a range of site conditions. Custom shop-fabricated lengths are also available upon request.
Superior Chemical and Corrosion Resistance
Manufactured from virgin HDPE (PE100) and polypropylene materials, Enviropipes products offer excellent internal and external resistance to aggressive soils, acids, alkalis, salts, and a wide range of industrial chemicals. This inherent resistance eliminates the need for additional liners or protective coatings. Explore our Chemical Resistance Database for further details.
Exceptional Abrasion Resistance
Polyethylene is one of the most abrasion-resistant piping materials available globally. Independent testing confirms its ability to withstand harsh flows, slurries, and solids over extended periods, making it ideal for demanding environments.
Low Surface Roughness
The smooth internal surface reduces friction, improving hydraulic efficiency and minimising blockages. This results in improved flow rates, reduced maintenance requirements, and allows smaller diameter pipes to achieve the same performance as larger conventional alternatives.
UV and Weather Resistance
Enviropipes products are stabilised with carbon black, providing excellent protection against ultraviolet radiation and atmospheric degradation. This stabilisation ensures long-term durability during outdoor storage and in exposed installations.
Microbial Resistance
HDPE and polypropylene do not support microbial growth, making them naturally resistant to bacteria, fungi, spores, sulphates, and sulphurous acids. This natural resistance makes them ideal for wastewater, sewerage, and contaminated soil applications.
