Technology & Specifications
Unique pipe stiffness technology providing flexible and variable loading specifications

Polypipe WMS is unique in its ability to produce large diameter pipe and attenuation solutions to match your exact requirements and site conditions. The flexibility of our manufacturing process enables you to specify exact stiffness requirements and utilise a value engineered solution that is neither under nor over specified.

Individual Pipe Profiles

Following many years of development, structured wall pipe technology has been designed and engineered to maximise the strength of the pipeline. Utilising the latest manufacturing technology and unique, state of the art software enables Polypipe WMS to create unique profile designs to match customers' site requirements. Pipe profile designs can be adapted to maximise strength and minimise use of material within the pipeline, which improves pipeline performance and provides a value engineered solution.

Our bespoke range of profiles are integral to the strength and performance of the pipeline. Optimised wall thickness and pipe profile design ensures that the pipeline can cope with both external and internal pressures and any subsequent deformation. Ridgistorm-XL is designed as a flexible structure to withstand point loading and ground movement once installed.

VW Profile

Profile type VW enables the production of a solid pipe with a smooth inner and outer surface. These pipes can be produced with a wall thickness of 5mm to 80mm.

PR Profile

Pipes produced with a PR profile achieve high stiffness with relatively low weight. This is a common pipe profile for use in sewer and surface water drainage applications.

SQ Profile

This profile option has a smooth inner and outer surface, including internal profile to one layer. High stiffness is achieved through the SQ profile, making it ideal for extremely high loads or larger diameters.

SQ2 Profile

SQ2 offers the same benefits as the single-layer SQ profile, yet it can be produced with additional profile layers for added ring stiffness.

Olympia Profile

In addition to the PR profile, the Olympia profile option can achieve greater pipeline stiffness with a comparatively low weight.
