Streets and Highways

Lightweight and cost effective, we provide the water management solutions for large-scale roadway projects.

High-Performance Drainage for Streets and Highways

ADS provides durable, high-performance drainage systems for roads, highways, railways and airports. Built from advanced HDPE materials, our products deliver long-lasting strength, easy installation and reliable stormwater control for modern transportation infrastructure.

Stormwater Applications

Capture: inlets, catch basins and surface drainage systems

  • Nyloplast catch basin and inlets provide fast and safe delivery and installation.
  • Nyloplast connections provide watertight structures that are assembled fast and with no changes in trench dimensions.
  • Slotted and linear drains effectively capture sheet flow to keep stormwater from causing hydroplaning.

Conveyance: pipe systems and fittings for water transport

  • N-12 HDPE, HP Storm polypropylene, and SaniTite HP polypropylene offer a wide range of solutions for water transportation.
  • Offered in watertight and soil tight connections to meet project needs.
  • A full range of fittings and Inserta-Tee tap fittings are available to support collection and movement of stormwater runoff.

Storage: detention, retention, and underground storage

  • Storage of stormwater runoff assists in mitigating flooding at the source and downstream from the capture locations.
  • ADS pipe options, StormTech chambers, and Aquabox crates support traffic loads and maximize the functionality of public right-of-way.
  •  Green infrastructure solutions support runoff reduction initiatives in critical public infrastructure environments.

Treatment: filtration, sediment removal and BMP compliance

  • Catch basin inserts, biofiltration, sediment, and trash removal devices, as well as filtration packages are used to meeting local BMP regulations.

Products in Highway Applications

Our pipe options used for street and highway drainage applications have a 100-year design service life and are far lighter in weight and easier to install than concrete pipe. High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene pipes efficiently conveys large rain events and are tough enough to withstand the most abrasive runoffs, corrosive water and native soils. The lightweight design and longer pipe lengths reduce transportation and installation costs by improving shipping efficiency, simplifying storage and enhancing safety for installers.

Open Competition Means You Win

Requiring robust competition among alternative construction products and materials, including those in drainage, is seen by many DOTs, community leaders and regional authorities as one of the best ways to create efficiencies and reduce costs.  As a leader in water management with decades of experience, ADS delivers on cost-efficient, durable and sustainable drainage solutions for public infrastructure applications.
