SOLUTION

Advanced Drainage Systems had a long working relationship with Fort Bend County Road and Bridge. ADS representatives had been discussing with Fort Bend County Road and Bridge the benefits of HP Storm polypropylene pipe. The culvert replacement provided an opportunity for Fort Bend to utilize the polypropylene pipe.

HP Storm offered the performance and durability needed for the replacement. Its corrosion resistance, long service life, and immediate availability made it an ideal solution. Thanks to its light weight and ease of handling, the installation was completed in just one day. Since this project, Fort Bend has continued to use HP Storm and keeps the pipe stocked in its yard.
