DOUBLE WALL CORRUGATED (DWC) PIPES

[EIRI/EDPR/4081] J.C.: 2221XL

INTRODUCTION

It is a double layer pipe with the outer layer having corrugation and the inner
layer with a smooth surface. The outer corrugated layer substantially increases
the stiffness of the pipe, which enables the pipe to take same burial load at a
fraction of the weight of Solid wall pipes of the same size.

It is a technically superior and cost effective solution for drainage and sewerage
systems over conventional DI & RCC pipes with a steep reduction in installation
time and equipment hiring cost. These pipes are available in sizes ranging from
100mm DN/ID to 1200mm DN/ID having ring stiffness ranging from SN2.5 to
SN16. Inner layer can be in different colours, with the outer layer in black colour.

There are manufactured as per following standards.

 IS 16098 Part II
 ISO-21138 Part III
 IS-14930
 BS EN 50086

Double Wall Corrugated (DWC) HDPE pipes are similar to normal HDPE pipes
except that they have different external & internal surfaces which gives them
additional strength and stiffness. These are made with High Density Polyethylene
which has very high life expectancy. These are externally corrugated and have
smooth surface inside and are available from 75 mm to 1.0 m dia. These pipes are
light weight and can be used for non-pressure underground sewerage, drainage &
cross drainage (pipe culvert) including rain water harvesting purposes. They are
maintenance free and therefore, once installed, will lie underground for years.

It is well-known that corrugated pipes can offer exceptional material savings, good
hydraulic (flow) properties and high compression strength. For these reasons
corrugated pipes have shown high growth rates in recent years resulting in the
continued development of its production technology. Here we aim to give you an
overview of the main characteristics, types and production technologies of
corrugated pipes and show how well the corrugated pipe for sewage and drainage
applications acquits itself compared to its two main competitors, the concrete pipe
and the solid wall PE pipe.
