HDPE Pipe

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) has been selected for the primary pipe material. HDPE has several advantages over FRP and concrete pipes for this marine pipeline :

- Readily Available Commercial Product

- High Flexibility/ Strain Capability

- High Strength/Rugged

- Strong Fusion Joints

- Corrosion/UV/Biofouling Resistant

- Excellent Hydraulic Characteristics

- Low Cost

HDPE's unique characteristics of high flexibility, high strength. high strain capability, strong fusion joints, no corrosion, and bouyancy provide for fast and low-cost deployment using the controlled submergence deployment method. HDPE pipe is also a favorite for HDD installation, as its strength and flexibility make it highly suitable for installation in tunnel boring.
