DWC PIPES AND FITTINGS
DWC (Double Wall Corrugated) pipes are a type of structured wall pipe with a smooth inner surface and a corrugated outer wall. These pipes are widely used in various applications, including drainage systems, sewage systems, and cable protection, due to their durability, strength, and flexibility. Here are some key points about DWC pipes:
Characteristics of DWC Pipes
Material Composition:
- Typically made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
- Combines the benefits of flexibility and strength.
Design:
- Double Wall Construction: The outer corrugated wall provides structural strength, while the smooth inner wall ensures a low frictional resistance for efficient flow.
- Lightweight: Despite their strength, DWC pipes are lightweight, making them easy to handle and install.
Sizes:
- Available in a range of diameters, typically from 50 mm to 1,000 mm or more.
- Standard lengths vary, but common lengths include 6 meters and 12 meters.
Applications
Drainage Systems:
- Used for stormwater drainage, road drainage, and agricultural drainage.
- Efficiently manages large volumes of water due to their smooth inner surface.
Sewage Systems:
- Ideal for underground sewage and wastewater systems.
- Resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, ensuring long-term performance.
Cable Protection:
- Provides protective casing for underground electrical and telecommunication cables.
- Prevents physical damage and exposure to environmental factors.
Road and Highway Construction:
- Used for sub-soil drainage to prevent water accumulation and road damage.
- Ensures long-lasting road infrastructure by efficiently managing water flow.
