golf irrigation pipe Advantages of HDPE Irrigation Farm Pipe
Since the early 1970s polyethylene pipe has been used for agriculture, residential and recreation irrigation systems. Conveying water to an irrigation system requires similar structures to those found in major canal networks. The conveyance itself can be an earthen ditch, a buried pipe, or a lined ditch. Lined pipe sections can be elevated in overhead and drip irrigation systems or constructed at surface or below the surface levels for surface or subsurface systems. Pipe materials are usually plastic, steel, concrete, clay, or asbestos cement, or they may be as simple as a wooden or bamboo construction. While these other kinds of pipe are still in use, polyethylene pipe offers you significant advantages.

HDPE plastic irrigation pipe is extremely light weight, flexible, durable, corrosion resistant and leak tight. These features make it perfect for implementing an irrigation system where the effects of constant water flow and soil degradation are extreme. Its smooth interior and high flow rates prevents clogging by dirt or deposits from unfiltered water in finely-tuned systems like the trickle or drip irrigation systems. Our irrigation pipe can be used for a variety of agriculture applications including field basin irrigation systems, furrow or channel irrigation systems, overhead and irrigation canals. At Oxford Plastic we have made it our mission to make sure that our own pipe can meet the demands of any modern day irrigation systems.

Installing a irrigation system has a number of impressive benefits. Irrigation or the provision of water to the soil:

Increases plant quality and crop yields
Controls the excessive water from floods or heavy rains.
Reduces the waste of water
Gets water to where it is needed - the roots of the plant
Reduces evaporation and the increase of salt in the soil
Prevents the growth of fungi and other bacterial disease
Supplies water to hard to reach areas.
