Description

EnviroStorm Perforated (Slotted) Corrugated HDPE Pipe

EnviroStorm perforated HDPE pipe is a corrugated PE system with factory slots for both sub-soil drainage and infiltration of stormwater runoff—helping prevent groundwater issues and restoring soil recharge on urban sites. In fine sand and coarse silt, specify a filter sock to stop fines entering the slots and to stabilise soil around the corrugations. Slotted and un-slotted coil are manufactured in accordance with AS 2439. Pipes are rubber-ring jointed and each pipe is supplied with an EPDM seal.

In simple terms: a tough, lightweight slotted plastic pipe that lets water in and moves it on—made for drains and infiltration trenches.


Key features & benefits

  • High crush resistance, low weight: corrugated profile wall gives strength, flexibility and easy handling.
  • Perforated for controlled inflow: inlet area validated by DN; optional thermal-bonded filter sock (supplied fitted or separate).
  • Chemical & corrosion resistance: HDPE resists aggressive soils and common chemicals; suitable for leachate/groundwater control.
  • UV-resistant: carbon-black stabilised polyethylene for outdoor exposure.
  • Resistant to micro-organisms: not a nutrient medium for bacteria/fungi; resistant to sulphurous acid and sulphates.
  • Low roughness & abrasion resistance: smooth bore minimises build-up and maintenance; HDPE is highly abrasion-resistant (Darmstadt method).

Applications

  • Sub-soil drainage: landscape and lawn drainage; areas prone to flooding; water-table control.
  • Roads & highways: edge/interceptor drains, embankments; also rail and airport runoff control.
  • Sports & recreation: ovals, golf courses, parks and gardens.
  • Mining & industrial: sand and heap leaching; leachate/groundwater control.
  • Retaining walls and general stormwater diversion.

Inlet area (summary)

Pipe DN (mm) Inlet Area (mm²/m)
225 1527
300 1357
375 1357
450 2827
525 1885
600 2356
750 2827

DN100 and DN150 are for sub-soil drainage only (Agi coil).

Installation (brief)

  • Install on level bedding. For DN225–900, cut at the centre of a valley and seal airways before jointing.
  • Fit the EPDM rubber in the last valley, with notches aligned to the airway; clean and lubricate before push-fit assembly.
  • Specify a filter sock in fine sands/coarse silts to prevent fines ingress and stabilise the trench envelope.

FAQs

What is EnviroStorm Perforated used for?

Sub-soil drainage and infiltration trenches to manage groundwater and recharge soils — e.g. edge drains on roads, retaining walls, sports fields, golf courses, parks and gardens, and mining/industrial leachate control.

Which diameters are available?

DN100 & DN150 (sub-soil coils), plus DN225–DN900 perforated straight lengths. Other sizes can be project-produced on request.

Do you supply coils and straight lengths?

Yes — DN100 & DN150 are supplied as coils (with optional filter sock). DN225–DN900 are supplied as 6 m ring-jointed lengths.

What is it made from?

PE100 high-density polyethylene — UV-stabilised (carbon black), chemically resistant, corrosion resistant, and not a nutrient medium for micro-organisms.

Is it compliant with Australian standards?

Slotted and un-slotted coils are manufactured to AS 2439. Ring-jointed straight lengths use EPDM rubber seals. Always confirm project/authority requirements with your engineer.

How is it joined?

Push-fit EPDM rubber ring joints. Clean, lubricate, orient the ring correctly, and push to full engagement.

When should I specify a filter sock?

In fine sands and coarse silts to prevent fines entering the slots and to stabilise the soil around corrugations. Available thermal-bonded, fitted to coil or supplied separately.

What inlet area do the slots provide?

Representative inlet area (mm²/m): DN100 1500; DN150 1500; DN225 1527; DN300 1357; DN375 1357; DN450 2827; DN525 1885; DN600 2356; DN750 2827; DN900 2356. DN100 & DN150 are for sub-soil drainage only.

Can I cut the pipe on site?

Yes. For DN225–900, cut at the centre of a valley only and seal the airways before jointing. Install the EPDM ring in the last valley, aligned with the airway. (Contact us for cutting guidance on other sizes.)

Is it UV-resistant?

Yes — black HDPE with carbon-black stabiliser is suitable for outdoor exposure during storage and installation.

How long does it last?

Designed for a long service life under normal buried, gravity-drainage conditions. Actual design life depends on site conditions, loading and specification.

How is it delivered?

By truck. Customer to unload via forklift as standard. Crane truck can be organised on request.

Do you supply fittings & accessories?

Yes — couplings, junctions, reducers and end caps to suit; filter socks (fitted or loose) and approved lubricants.
