Overview
Infrapipe supplied multiple DN3200 SN8 HDPE spiral wound pipes for a major culvert replacement project in Hawke’s Bay. The project involved replacing an existing culvert located deep within a natural sandstone crevice, requiring a lightweight and durable solution capable of overcoming difficult site access and installation conditions.
As the only manufacturer in New Zealand producing PE DN3200 pipes using advanced Krah technology, Infrapipe delivered a high-performance solution engineered specifically for large-diameter infrastructure applications. The lightweight nature of HDPE pipe simplified handling and installation on site while providing long-term durability, structural performance, and hydraulic efficiency.
