Plasdrain™ corrugated polypropylene pipe

Corrugated polypropylene (PP) stormwater pipe to AS/NZS 5065 with sealed rubber-ring bell–spigot joints and a smooth bore for high flow.

  • Sizes: DN225–750; ~6 m effective length per piece (see Dimensions).
  • Hydraulics: smooth bore, low roughness, self-cleaning behaviour.
  • Strength: structured wall for high stiffness-to-weight.
  • Durability: impact, abrasion and chemical resistance; wide service temperature range.
  • Install: push-fit RRJ; rapid handling and placement.

Description

Plasdrain corrugated polypropylene pipe (AS/NZS 5065)

Plasdrain corrugated polypropylene pipe is a dual-wall stormwater drainage system for civil and infrastructure works. A smooth bore delivers high hydraulic performance while the corrugated outer wall provides strength at low weight. Sealed rubber-ring bell–spigot joints enable fast installation and reliable service life.

In simple terms: a tough, lightweight PP stormwater pipe that installs quickly, stays watertight and handles traffic loads with confidence.

Key features & benefits

  • Hydraulics: smooth bore for low friction losses; resists build-up and self-cleans under design flows.
  • Strength with low weight: structured (corrugated) wall gives high stiffness-to-weight and robust handling.
  • Watertight joints: bell–spigot, elastomeric (EPDM) rubber-ring push-fit.
  • Durability: impact, abrasion and chemical resistance; wide service temperature range (approx. −20 °C to 90 °C short-term).
  • CCTV-friendly: light internal colour improves inspection visibility.

Applications

  • Subsurface stormwater drains in roads, highways and car parks
  • Rail corridors and embankments
  • Commercial/industrial estates, subdivisions, parks and sports fields
  • General gravity stormwater conveyance where corrosion resistance and installation speed matter

Compliance & acceptance

  • Manufactured to AS/NZS 5065 for PP structured-wall drainage pipes (see Standards Australia).
  • Design to AS/NZS 2566.1 and install to AS/NZS 2566.2.
  • Project-specific acceptance remains with the designer/authority.

Sustainability

  • Low transport/handling mass compared with rigid alternatives helps reduce site impacts.
  • Manufacturing process supports use of recycled PP content where specified.
  • Long service life and corrosion resistance support low whole-of-life maintenance.

Fittings & fabrication

  • Rubber-ring couplers for bell–spigot joints.
  • Common fittings available: bends, junctions, reducers, end caps.
  • Project specials (e.g. fabricated bends/joiners) available to order—advise size, angle and lead time. Request a quote.

Installation (brief)

  • Install as a flexible pipeline per AS/NZS 2566.2 with granular embedment.
  • Typical max particle size: ≤5 mm up to DN375; ≤10 mm for DN450 and larger.
  • Provide side-support compaction and ~150 mm overlay above crown before heavier compaction equipment.

See the Dimensions tab for available diameters and indicative weights, and FAQs for lead times, approvals and site use.

FAQs

What is Plasdrain used for?

Plasdrain corrugated polypropylene pipe is for gravity stormwater drainage in roads, rail, car parks, subdivisions, parks and general civil works where corrosion resistance and sealed joints are important.

What diameters are available?

DN225, DN300, DN375, DN450, DN525, DN600 and DN750 in nominal 6 m lengths. See the Dimensions tab for outside/internal diameters and effective lengths.

What is it made from?

Dual-wall structured polypropylene (PP) — smooth inner bore for hydraulics; corrugated outer wall for strength-to-weight.

How are pipes joined?

Bell–spigot rubber-ring (EPDM) push-fit joints for watertight seals.

Does it meet Australian standards?

Manufactured to AS/NZS 5065 (PP structured-wall, non-pressure). Design to AS/NZS 2566.1 and install to AS/NZS 2566.2.

What cover do I need above the pipe?

Typical guidance from AS/NZS 2566-1: ~0.30 m (no vehicular loading), ~0.45 m (subject to vehicles, not roadway), ~0.60 m (sealed roadway), ~0.75 m (unsealed/embankments). The project designer/authority requirements govern.

Can it be installed under roads?

Yes — when designed and installed to AS/NZS 2566 with appropriate cover and embedment for the application and DN.

Do you supply fittings and specials?

Yes — couplers, bends, junctions, reducers, end caps and project-specific fabricated pieces on request.

Can you provide compliance documents?

Yes — conformity to AS/NZS 5065 and standard submittal documents are available with your quote on request.

What are typical lead times?

Core sizes are generally stocked; larger/special items are made to order. Contact us for current availability.

How is it delivered?

By truck. Customer to unload via forklift; crane truck available on request.
