Technology
High-performance plastic pipe production technology
Due to the engineered structural technology Infrapipe™ Spiral is easily fabricated in many ways so we can look at the overall project and see how Infrapipe™ Spiral can be used to reduce manholes sizes, limit excavation, and overall improve the system. Infrapipe™ Spiral can do this by:
- Prefabricated manholes
- Smaller manhole risers or ‘Chimney’ risers
- Plug & play tanks, manholes and bends
- Manufactured with longer length or pre-welded strings of pipe
All these options provide benefits to all parties involved by reducing installation time, onsite health & safety risks, reducing cost and minimising the environmental impact of large excavations.
Advantages
Advantages of Infrapipes
Infrapipe™ Spiral is typically used in drainage, stormwater and wastewater applications around the country and is often the preferred option due to its many advantages:
- 100-year design-life
- Manufactured from materials that are 100% recyclable
- Light weight so easy to handle with smaller equipment
- High abrasion resistance
- Extremely high chemical resistance even to HS2 (hydrogen sulphide) attack
- Low Manning’s coefficient of friction due to smooth internal bore
- Easily fabricated into pipeline componentry like tanks, manholes, bends, reducers etc.
- Low waste due to being manufactured to the chainage required, not just 6m lengths
Applications
Made in NZ using the latest European technology
Infrapipe™ Spiral is typically used in drainage, stormwater and wastewater applications around the country. Typical uses include:
- Stormwater Pipelines
- Wastewater Pipelines and Outfalls
- Raw Water Lines
- Culverts
- Tanks
- Manholes
Jointing Technologies
Made in NZ using the latest European technology
Infrapipe™ Spiral is extremely adaptable to how it can be connected to itself and other products with its large range of jointing types. Each project can have the jointing types designed to suit any specific requirements or multiple options can be sued.
All jointing types have a specific methodology for leak testing during the installation process, not at the end or between structures. Jointing types include:
- Socket/Single or Double Rubber Ring Spigot
- Stub Flange and Backing Ring
- Electro-fusion Socket/Spigot
- Extrusion Welded
- Butt Welded
