What is twin wall drainage?

Twin wall drainage is a type of drainage system that consists of two layers of plastic pipes, one inside the other. The outer layer is corrugated and provides strength and protection, while the inner layer is smooth and allows for efficient water flow. This type of drainage system is commonly used in construction and civil engineering projects to manage surface water and prevent flooding.

Why use a twin wall drainage pipe?

Twin wall drainage pipe is a popular choice for drainage systems due to its durability, strength, and resistance to corrosion. It is also lightweight and easy to install, making it a cost-effective option. Additionally, its smooth interior surface allows for efficient water flow and reduces the risk of blockages.

What is a twin wall used for?

Twin walls are commonly used for construction and insulation purposes. It is a type of corrugated plastic sheeting that is lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant, making it ideal for roofing, cladding, and signage. It is also used for packaging and storage solutions, such as boxes and containers.

What size are twin wall drainage pipes?

Twin wall drainage pipes come in various sizes, ranging from 150mm to 600mm in diameter. The size you need will depend on the specific requirements of your drainage system.

What is the difference between single wall and double wall drain pipe?

Single wall drain pipe is a thin, lightweight pipe that is used for low-volume drainage systems. Double wall drain pipe, on the other hand, is a thicker, heavier pipe that is used for high-volume drainage systems. The double wall design provides added strength and durability, making it ideal for use in commercial and industrial applications. Additionally, double wall drain pipe is often used in areas where the ground is unstable or prone to shifting, as it is less likely to collapse or become damaged over time.

TWIN WALL DRAINAGE PIPE AND FITTINGS

Twin wall drainage pipe, otherwise known as corrugated pipe or ribbed drainage pipe consists of two high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes expertly fused together, creating a robust structure. The outer wall is corrugated to enhance strength, hence also being referred to as corrugated pipe or ribbed drainage pipe. This is while the inner wall remains smooth, ensuring superior flow efficiency.

Our twin wall pipes / corrugated pipe / ribbed drainage pipe is available in unperforated or perforated configurations and span a range of diameters including, 150mm, 225mm, 300mm, 450mm and 600mm. There are larger options available to order, please call our sales team on 01255 258525 for more information.

These diameters cater to a diverse range of applications. Unperforated pipes, also known as solid or carrier drains, efficiently transport surface and stormwater. In contrast, perforated systems serve as effective land drains, collecting excess rainwater from the ground.

As specialists in plastic drainage, Build Plumb Plastics provide a wide selection of HDPE high-performance twinwall pipes. These pipes are suitable for various non-pressure applications, including surface and sub-surface stormwater drainage, agricultural ditch work, and culverts.

For specific requirements such as Highways Agency-compliant or British Board of Agreement-approved pipes, please contact our Sales Team on 01255 258525. Our twin wall pipes / corrugated pipe / ribbed drainage pipe range includes a variety of fittings, including 15, 45, and 90-degree bends, junctions, couplers, and seals.
