Corrugated Pipe Installation Guide
Proper installation ensures optimal performance of your corrugated pipe system:
- Prepare the trench with proper slope (minimum 1% grade recommended)
- Place geotextile fabric in the trench if required for your application
- Lay the corrugated pipe with the smooth interior surface facing upward
- Connect pipe sections using appropriate couplers or fittings
- Backfill carefully, ensuring proper compaction around the pipe
- Install protective end caps or outlet protection as needed
Corrugated Pipe FAQ Section
What is the lifespan of corrugated pipe?
Our high-quality corrugated pipe has an expected service life of 50+ years when properly installed. The HDPE material resists corrosion, rust, and chemical degradation that can shorten the lifespan of metal or concrete pipes. UV-resistant formulations prevent degradation from sunlight exposure for above-ground applications.
Can corrugated pipe handle heavy vehicle traffic?
When properly installed with adequate cover and compaction, our heavy-duty corrugated pipe can support H-20 loading (highway traffic). For areas with heavy vehicle traffic, we recommend using pipe with greater wall thickness and ensuring minimum 12 inches of compacted cover material above the pipe.
How does corrugated pipe compare to smooth-wall pipe?
Corrugated pipe offers several advantages over smooth-wall alternatives. The corrugated exterior provides greater structural strength while maintaining flexibility. The smooth interior maintains good flow characteristics. Corrugated pipe is typically more cost-effective than smooth-wall pipe for non-pressure drainage applications and easier to handle during installation.
