DWC Pipes for cable Protection (IS - 16205)
DWC Pipes for cable Protection (IS - 16205)
Double Wall Corrugated (DWC) Pipes are high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes designed for sewerage and drainage systems. Manufactured as per IS: 16098, these pipes feature a corrugated outer wall for high strength and a smooth inner wall for efficient fluid flow. DWC pipes are an ideal replacement for conventional concrete and PVC pipes, offering superior durability, flexibility, and resistance to environmental factors. DWC pipes have gained widespread acceptance as a cost-effective, durable, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional concrete, PVC, and metal pipes. Their lightweight nature, flexibility, and long service life make them an ideal choice for underground drainage, sewerage networks, stormwater management, and cable protection applications.
Key Features
- High Strength & Structural Integrity: The corrugated outer surface provides high ring stiffness, enabling the pipes to withstand heavy loads, external pressure, and ground movement. This makes them ideal for underground installations in both urban and rural areas.
- Smooth Inner Surface for Efficient Flow: The inner wall of DWC pipes is designed to be smooth and friction-free, ensuring seamless water flow with minimal resistance. This prevents clogging, reduces sediment accumulation, and enhances the overall efficiency of sewerage and drainage systems.
- Corrosion & Chemical Resistance: Unlike conventional concrete and metal pipes, DWC pipes are resistant to rust, corrosion, and chemical reactions. This makes them highly suitable for environments with acidic, alkaline, or saline soil conditions, ensuring longevity and reliability.
- Lightweight & Easy to Handle: DWC pipes are significantly lighter than RCC, cast iron, and conventional PVC pipes, making transportation, handling, and installation quicker and more cost-effective. Their lightweight nature also reduces the need for heavy machinery during installation.
- Long Service Life & Low Maintenance: Designed for 50+ years of operational life, these pipes require minimal maintenance due to their non-degradable material composition and resistance to biological growth like fungi or algae.
