The science of materials engineeringhas totally changed the complexionof many U.S. industries. Nowhere isthis more evident than in the con-struction market, where plastics areoutperforming and outlasting tradi-tional metal and mineral materials ina wide range of applications.

Without doubt, the workhorse of con-struction plastics is High DensityPolyethylene (HDPE). And the com-pany that has led the development ofHDPE for drainage products isAdvanced Drainage Systems, with arecord of painstaking research andbreakthrough applications datingback to the 1960s.

Today, more than ever, ADS pipe, fit-tings, and structures are becomingthe preferred products throughoutthe stormwater drainage industry. The distinctive green stripe on thepipe is your assurance of the best inquality and service from the world’sleader in plastic drainage products.

Pipe is generally divided into two cat-egories: rigid and flexible. A pipe isrigid when it will not accept anydeflection without structural distress.Examples are concrete, clay, andcast iron. Flexible pipe will accept atleast 2 percent deflection withoutstructural distress. Steel, aluminum,and thermoplastics fall into this cate-gory. We can further divide flexiblepipe into elastic materials, which aremetal pipes, and viscoelastic, repre-sented by thermoplastic materials.

High density polyethylene drainagepipe has been in use since the1950s. In this relatively brief period,HDPE has been the subject ofexhaustive laboratory tests and fieldexperiments. In real-world installa-tions, the product has built animpressively successful record oftrouble-free performance.

Today, we see an accelerating trend

among construction engineers toreplace steel and concrete pipingwith polyethylene because of itssuperior mechanical and chemicalproperties and cost-effective han-dling characteristics.

1. Structural strength. HDPE'stoughness and flexibility enable itto withstand deep fill heights andextended live loads. ADS pipe isengineered to exceed all theAASHTO LRFD structural designrequirements for earth and liveloads. Tests at Utah StateUniversity show that heavy soilloads will fracture the wall of rigidpipe, but under identical condi-tions, will produce only moderatedeflection in flexible polyethylenepipe. HDPE will not crack orbreak during proper installation,and maintains its impact strengthat sub-zero temperatures.

High Density Polyethylene:The preferred pipe material

2. Abrasion resistance. The fol-lowing chart indicates that thematerial loss rate of HDPE is only15 to 25% that of reinforced con-crete under controlled experi-

ments. And decades of in-situtesting and real-world installa-tions have demonstrated polyeth-ylene’s interior toughness. It isused successfully with harsh min-

ing and dredging slurries, and isvirtually immune to damage fromeven the most aggressive sewercleaning tools.

3. Light weight. Polyethyleneweighs 50 to 75% less than com-parable steel pipe, and is aboutone-tenth the weight of concrete.This translates into easier han-dling, smaller work crews,reduced heavy equipmentrequirements, and improvedsafety.

4. Chemically inert. HDPE is high-ly resistant to corrosion, and isimmune to galvanic and electro-mechanical reaction. As seen inthe diagram, polyethylene cansafely be used with soils or efflu-ent with a pH range of 1.5 to 14.

HDPE pipe’s durability is dramatically demonstrated by this highway cross draininstalled in 1981 near anabandoned strip mine. Themetal pipe used prior to thistime had to be replaced everyfew years due to the highlyacidic (pH range was between2.5 to 4.0) and abrasive run-off from the mine. To this day,the polyethylene cross drainshows no sign of needingreplacement.

REINFORCEDCONCRETEPIPE

HDPE PIPE


N-12 pipe has built an impressiveservice record in storm water andother drainage applications wherehydraulics are important and durabili-ty is critical. The pipe is offered indiameters from 4" through 60", in 6m(19' 8") lengths and also in 13'lengths for smaller trench boxes.

Corrugated exterior addsstrengthThe natural toughness of HDPE isenhanced by the corrugated exteriorwhich increases the structuralstrength of N-12 pipe. It is designedfor use under both H-25 and E-80live loads. Fill height tables are avail-able in the ADS Water ManagementDrainage Handbook. Field researchdone in Ohio and Pennsylvania hasplaced HDPE pipe under 40 andeven 100 feet of fill. Even undersome harsh backfill conditions, N-12pipe has continued to give outstand-ing performance.

Smooth interior providessuperior flowIn order to meet the most demandinghydraulic requirements, N-12 pipe ismanufactured with a smooth innerwall. This design insures maximumflow capacity, and PE's resistance to

abrasion and corrosion will sustainthis capacity for years into the future.With a recommended 0.012 rating,the pipe is ideal for applicationsrequiring low Mannings “n” values.

Convenience on the jobsiteN-12 pipe's light weight leads to anumber of job site economies: morepipe per delivery truck, easier han-dling, smaller crews, less heavyequipment, less pipe damage, andbetter safety. The pipe cuts easilyand requires no beveling for joining.

Watertight and soil-tight systemsContinuing its commitment to invest-ment in new technologies, ADS hasdeveloped polyethylene pipe joiningsystems unparalleled in the corrugat-ed pipe industry. Today’s N-12 pipeprovides unsurpassed joint integrity,with built-in bell joints and fast push-together installation.

Soil-tight pipe.N-12 ST IB pipe, delivered with anintegral bell-and-spigot joint, meetsthe most stringent soil-tight require-ments. The reinforced bell resistsdistortion, chipping or cracking, andspans two or more corrugations,exceeding ASTM F2306 recommen-dations. The in-line bell design elimi-nates the need to dig bell holes inthe trench. Joints are sealed by afactory-installed rubber gasket thatmeets all requirements of ASTMF477.

Watertight pipe.In the early 1990s, ADS pioneeredthe watertight joint for corrugatedpolyethylene pipe. Continuing devel-opment has resulted in today’s N-12 WT IB pipe, incorporatingpatented technology developed inthe aerospace industry. The designis based on the flared bell andtapered spigot of N-12 ST IB pipe,with two important differences. Thesealing area of the bell is reinforcedwith a proprietary 2" polymer com-posite collar which improves thejoint’s integrity and tolerance control.Secondly, a patented gasket meetingASTM F477 is factory-installed intothe spigot, increasing its sealingforce as hydrostatic pressureincreases. The design meets orexceeds ASTM D3212 lab test andASTM F1417 watertight field testrequirements, and fills an essentialrole in complying with the stricterdemands of new EPA water qualityguidelines.

Years of field and laboratory evaluationshave made N-12 the most tested pipe inthe industry.

StormTech underground chamberscan function as storm water deten-tion, retention, “first flush” storagesystems, or a combination of these.They can be installed in commercial,municipal, industrial and residentialprojects. They are engineered toexceed AASHTO’s LRFD recom-mended design factors for EarthLoads and HS-20 live loads.

The chambers convey water laterallythrough their sidewall openings, aswell as through the angular stonefoundation and backfill, to maintain aconstant elevation in a bed. Theyallow for the storage of large stormwater volumes at minimum depths.

The durable, chemical-resistantpolypropylene chambers are offeredin two sizes: (1) the SC-740 chamberprovides a minimum of 2.2 ft3/ft2 ofstorage, and (2) the SC-310 low pro-file unit allows 1.3 ft3/ft2 minimum ofstorage. Chambers can be cut at 6.5"intervals, providing excellent designflexibility for nearly all sites. They canbe centralized or decentralized, con-figured into beds or trenches of vary-ing sizes and shapes, and installedeasily around utilities or otherobstructions. Two people can safelyand efficiently form rows of cham-bers without complicated connectors,special tools or heavy equipment.

StormTech Isolator™ RowThe Isolator Row is a patent-pendingstructure that acts as an extendedsubsurface detention basin, allowingwater to exit through its surroundingfilter fabric while sediment is trappedwithin. The Isolator Row inexpen-sively enhances TSS removal, andcan be equipped with inspectionports for fast and easy maintenanceand cleaning.

The geotextile covering prevents themigration of fines out of the row whilemaintaining adequate hydraulicflows. Several geotextiles can bespecified for use with the IsolatorRow, depending on soil and site con-ditions. A list of suitable geotextiles isavailable from ADS.

Water Quality Units

ADS is profoundly aware of theimpact that EPA Phase II stormwa-ter management regulations willhave on property owners and devel-opers, and has been active in creat-ing innovative products andprocesses to aid in runoff controland improved water quality.

Water Quality Units are designed tomanage the quality of water dis-charged during a storm by removingsediments and hydrocarbons. Atypical design involves an under-ground pipe assembly using weirplates and velocity control devicesto separate out suspended pollu-tants. The system features accessrisers for easy cleaning and mainte-nance, and a bypass system to prevent re-suspension of capturedpollutants by storms greater thanthe first flush.

Proven effectivenessField and laboratory tests have consistently verified the excellentperformance of ADS Water QualityUnits.

• Installed units in Davidson County,Tennessee, showed a mean TSSremoval efficiency of 91.4%.

• Sediment removal lab tests inMassachusetts at varying flowrates yielded efficiencies from81.9% to 90.3%.

• Oil capture was measured by anindependent laboratory under arange of flow volumes. The meancapture rate was 79.8%.

Storm-Pure™ Catch Basin Insert

Storm water treatment is especiallyimportant in locations with higherpollutant concentrations, such asroadways, parking lots, and mainte-nance and loading areas. Catchbasin inserts are increasingly beingselected for these applicationsbecause of their adaptability to exist-ing drainage systems, fast installa-tion, high flow volume, relatively lowcost, and pollutant removal performance.

Storm-PureThe Nyloplast Division of AdvancedDrainage Systems has developed acatch basin insert that provides all ofthe above benefits, and is particular-ly efficient at removing pollutants.The Storm-Pure catch basin insert isa two-stage unit that will fit into 24"nominal diameter catch basins (addi-tional sizes to be developed asdemand dictates).

The upper section consists of a per-forated metal catch basket coveredby a geotextile filter bag. Thisassembly captures sediment anddebris while allowing filtered water topass freely down through the centercone.

The lower stage contains a patentedMycelx® filter insert that attracts andholds tiny particles of hydrocarbonsand oil-bound pollutants. The spe-cially treated adsorbent materialinstantly bonds contaminant parti-cles, resulting in an amazing 99.0%removal rate of total petroleumhydrocarbons.

Both stages are housed in a corrosion-resistant high density polyethylene body with overflowslots at the top to act as a bypass inunusually high flow conditions. Thecomplete assembly will pass 230gpm without bypassing the flow.

The Storm-Pure catch basin insertfits readily into standard 24"Nyloplast catch basins (includingcurb inlets and road and highwaybasins), providing a highly engi-neered solution for treating stormwater.

AdvanEDGE® PipeAdvanEDGE is a panel shape pipeoffered in 12" and 18" heights, and incoils up to 400 ft. The primary bene-fit of its panel design is quickdrainage response after introductionof water, making it ideal for time-critical applications such as high-traffic road and track beds. Otherpopular uses include building foun-dation drainage, golf courses, athlet-ic fields, airport runways, railroadtrack ballast, and perimeter “curtain”drainage for landfills and leachingfields.

Designed with a differenceCompetitive panel shape productsdepend on the tensile modulus of ageotextile wrap to maintain an openflow channel. When this low-modulus fabric collapses, the water-way is obstructed, reducing itshydraulic efficiency.

AdvanEDGE pipe does not rely onthe geotextile for structural support.Its strength is derived from a corru-gated cylinder maintained by pillarslocated strategically throughout thecore. The result is a series of oval-shaped sections with all-directionstrength. This completely enclosedwaterway with fewer projectionsallows AdvanEDGE to function as apipe, discharging more water to theoutlet.

Stronger materialHDPE has an unbeatable combina-tion of mechanical and chemicalproperties for drainage pipe applica-tions. Many competitive geocompos-ite cores are made from less desirable materials such as low den-sity PE or styrene.

Economical installationThe slim-line profile of AdvanEDGEpipe allows for installation in a nar-row trench, easily dug with high-speed trenching equipment. Itrequires no gravel or select backfill,and can be installed directly againsta wall or structural member. Advan-EDGE can also be installed horizon-tally directly on the subgradebeneath playing turf and golf greens.This orientation accelerates waterremoval and cuts labor costsbecause no trenches are required.

Geosynthetic ProductsADS offers the PROPEX® brand ofconstruction fabrics and othergeosynthetic products for soil stabi-lization and reinforcement, filtration,separation, erosion control, and sub-surface drainage.

GeotextilesWoven and non-woven geotextilesoffer a range of styles to fit a varietyof subsurface construction applica-tions. Durably constructed ofpolypropylene, these geotextiles provide permanent, cost-efficientsolutions that are completely envi-ronmentally compatible. These fab-rics are resistant to naturally encoun-tered chemicals, alkalies, acids, andbiological degradation, and will meetor exceed AASHTO M 288 specifications.

GeogridsThese products feature large open-ings and are available in a variety ofshapes and thicknesses. Geogridsprovide strong soil support, with par-ticular effectiveness in embankmentreinforcement, erosion control, andshoreline protection under rip-rap.

To complement the standard geogridline, ADS also markets the Secugrid®

brand of biaxially oriented polypropy-lene geogrids from Naue GmbH inGermany.

Using patented manufacturing tech-nology, these geogrids feature aheavy duty matrix of polymer strapswith high tensile strength and verylow elongation. Secugrid geogridsare especially well suited fordemanding soil stabilization applica-tions such as highway and road construction.

Silt FenceUsed to contain sediment runoff fromconstruction borders and newly grad-ed slopes, silt fence is available in100-foot rolls with preassembledhardwood stakes and a choice offabrics and other options.

Erosion Control MatsUniquely designed three-layer net-ting mats provide effective surfaceprotection for slopes with existingvegetation or newly seeded soil.

Filter Fabric WrapsExtra-strong synthetic materials areused with perforated drainage pipe toprevent infiltration of fine soil parti-cles while allowing water to flow freely.

1. Drain Guard®. Designed for nor-mal handling conditions, DrainGuard is a spunbound nylon wrapwith a unique bonding processthat provides ultraporous filtrationwhile restraining and stabilizingsandy/silty soils.

2. ADS Sock. This is a machine-knitted polyester drain envelopethat stretches to fit snugly overthe pipe. It has extra toughnessand flexibility to withstand unusu-ally rough installation and han-dling conditions.

Along withtheir long-term involvement devel-oping product specifications andindustry standards with AASHTOand ASTM, ADS engineers are indaily contact with customers, offer-ing professional guidance on newapplications and unique installationsituations. These often involve thedesign and construction of customfittings, which are fabricated in spe-cial departments located at many ofthe company's 42 manufacturingplants.

To assist design engineers and con-tractors, ADS has created a seriesof interactive design tools on CD-ROM. These include tutorials onretention/detention systems, waterquality units, and three site develop-ment applications: residential,school and commercial. Each CDuses a dynamic rendering techniqueto show where and how variousdrainage products (pipe, fittings,chambers, structures, geosyntheticsand water quality units) can beused. Included are product descrip-tions, installation details, technicalnotes, reports and calculation tools.
