HDPE Pipe: The Superior Choice for Small Pipeline Installation
For the longest time in my engineering career, I did not really know what HDPE pipe was. I heard about it from random salesmen pitching at lunch, or about how some 96-inch Dallas Water Utility HDPE transmission line failed and they would never use HDPE again. Recently, especially after designing and implementing HDPE pipe across over 5 miles of the 4-inch distribution system at Arabian Acres and watching various sizes installed for an industrial run-off on BNSF sites in Wyoming, I have grown to see it as the superior product for small pipeline installation. For pipelines 12 inches and under, HDPE seems like a no-brainer.
