Sewer Pipe for Sanitation Systems

At Oxford Plastics we manufacture sewer pipe for sanitary and waste water transfer. In our world, everything begins and ends with water. We spend most of our time looking for new and innovative ways of acquiring water, but very little time thinking of ways to deal with it once we are finished with it. In a water management system, we believe that you not only have to concern yourself with the supply of water, but with its transfer to a sewage or wastewater treatment facility or what some might call a pollution control plant. Otherwise we risk contaminating what water supply we have left.

A Sewer System
In most urban centers, a sewer system is powered by gravity. Pipes from each residence or building flow to a sewer main that runs down the middle of the street. At certain points along the sewer main, a vertical pipe will run up from the sewer main to the street surface, where it can be accessed for maintenance via a manhole cover. Each sewer main flows into larger pipes until they reach the wastewater treatment plant. In order for gravity to its thing, the wastewater treatment plant is usually located in a low lying area.

Sewer Pipe For Sanitation Systems
It is no secret that sanitary and sewer systems across the world are obsolete and in a serious state of neglect. At Oxford Plastics, we believe that piping is a big part of the problem - and also the solution. As we see it, piping is literally the artery through which water is supplied and then discharged. The problem is that most sewage systems use a piping material that is easily corroded, hard to handle and difficult to repair or replace. Polyethylene pipe promises to be a long-term and cost effective solution to this problem. It is well suited for a wide range of sewage applications in all sorts of circumstances. Its inherent physical characteristics make it impervious to the extremely aggressive and corrosive materials associated with sewage systems. Polyethylene plastic pipe is light weight, flexible, durable, corrosion resistant and leak tight making it easier to install than any other pipe material. These features and its exceptional flow rate make it ideal for transferring extremely aggressive materials and will greatly reduce pumping and treatment costs.

Why Use Hdpe Pipe for Sewer and Sanitation Systems
The biggest concern facing communities with a deteriorating sewage system is the cost of installation and surface disruption. The installation or rehabilitation of a sewer system main can be significantly faster and easier with hdpe pipe. This is primarily due to the pipe's lighter weight, ease of handling, and its suitability for trenchless technologies like pipe bursting or horizontal directional drilling. Because of its flexibility, hdpe pipe can be shaped during its installation to curve around obstructions and angles with little difficulty. Its light weight allows you to pull long assembled lengths of the pipe through long difficult tunnels under roads and structures with little effort at greatly reduced costs. These benefits and many others make it a serious contender as a sewage piping solution.

If you are thinking about making a long term investment in a sewage infrastructure system for your town or city, let our experience with sewage piping applications help you to make the right decision for all concerned.
