PRODUCTS USED
- 1,000’ (305 m) of 36” (900 mm) SaniTite HP
- 8,300’ (2,530 m) of 48” (1,200 mm) SaniTite HP
During those flooding events, the sanitary sewers would back up into residences and also flow directly into streams, rivers and their tributaries.
To eliminate the backups, large diameter, triple-wall SaniTite HP, a polypropylene pipe, was chosen over traditional pipe types. 8,300’ (2,530 m) of 48” (1200 mm) and 1,000’ (305 m) of SaniTite HP was used for the main trunk lines.
Triple wall SaniTite HP has a smooth interior and exterior wall with corrugations in between. It is made from polypropylene for extra pipe stiffness and has dual gaskets for joint integrity. Polypropylene is ideal for sanitary applications as it is an inert material resistant to chemicals, abrasions, hot soils and caustic effluent. The light weight of the product provides the best installed cost.
