Potable Water
Our polyethylene pipes for drinking water applications are available in a wide range of sizes to suit all manner of projects. From ø20mm through to ø630mm diameter, we can supply pipes to suit a maximum operating pressure of up to 25 bar and are compliant to BS EN 12201 and WRAS drinking water standards.
Polyethylene boasts unique material characteristics compared to traditional materials which means it is a highly flexible, robust, and 100% recyclable solution for installation into our clean water networks. Our water pipes can withstand high pressure applications and are therefore suitable for a variety of industries. Whatever your project’s requirements are, we can help.
Non-Potable Water
PE100 pipe – for non-potable water (above & below ground), pumped and pressurised wastewater systems, including sewerage.
Manufactured from virgin PE100 material, our solid wall polyethylene black pipes are ideal for potable (above ground) and non-potable water applications. Typically used for pumped rising mains and general sewer systems, bulk water transfer, and raw water extraction. PE100 pipes offer flexibility with high operating pressure capabilities.
We offer non-potable service and mains pipe along with pressure rated fabrications to suit various applications
Benefits of polyethylene pipe
Specifically developed to last at least 50 years in operation at it’s maximum operating pressure, polyethylene pipelines are favored by water companies for the delivery of drinking water to millions of homes across the country and for the distribution and removal of wastewater into water treatment facilities.
Polyethylene boasts material properties that outperform other plastic and metallic alternatives whilst minimising costly maintenance and rehabilitation processes.
• High flexibility and lightweight
• Low friction and high flow rate
• Able to be fusion welded throughout
• Resistance to corrosion
• Suitable for various installation methods
• Cost saving in transportation and installation
Polyethylene has the ability to expand and contract with fluctuating operating system pressures and ground movement, this flexibility whilst maintaining pressure holding strength, means the network remains leak free and suitable for continual use for a very long period.
Able to be fusion welded giving asset owners long term confidence the pipeline will operate leak-free for its full design life.
