Some popular applications of Sclairpipe include:
• Potable Water • Slurry Pipe
Distribution • Mining
• Pressure Water Systems • Marine Pipelines & Crossings
• Sewage Systems • Deep Water Intakes
• Water Mains • Deep Water Outfalls
• Sliplining • Irrigation Lines
• Fire Mains • Biofilters
• Directional Drilling • Gas Gathering
• Trenchless Technologies • Landfill
• Conduit

Potable Water
Sclairpipe is used for both new water main installations and to rehabilitate deteriorated
piping systems made from other materials. It can accept repetitive pressure surges that far
exceed the static pressure rating of the pipe. Sclairpipe is easy to handle and is available in
long lengths that cut down on jointing time. Thermal fusion on site reduces installation time
and ensures leakproof joints that eliminate infiltration and exfiltration problems. Sclairpipe
is well suited for dynamic soils and is extremely seismic resistant.

Sewage Systems
After more than 50 years of use in municipal and industrial sewer applications, Sclairpipe
has proven to be a reliable, cost effective, long-term solution for sewer and wastewater
systems. It offers resistance to corrosion and chemicals with durability and strength that
rigid concrete, PVC or ductile iron pipes can’t duplicate. Lightweight Sclairpipe is easy to
install, extremely flexible and does not corrode or tuberculate over time.

Industry
Long-term reliable piping solutions are always in demand by industry. Sclairpipe offers
resistance to corrosion, abrasion and chemicals resulting in a durable, strong and cost-
effective installation.

Mining
Sclairpipe solid wall HDPE pipe is commonly used in mining applications for tailings disposal
and water management including: river water diversion, reclamation lines, culvert, sewer
and sub-drainage systems and slurry pipe. It is lightweight, flexible, durable. It is virtually
leak proof, and can withstand corrosive chemicals, acids or salts commonly found in mines.
Sclairpipe combines strength and durability in above ground applications and is UV
resistant.

Irrigation
Sclairpipe is a cost effective solution for irrigation and agricultural drainage applications
such as river and canal diversion, agricultural irrigation systems and pipelines, and water
conservation. A Sclairpipe irrigation system will withstand the test of time.

Heating & Cooling

Sclairpipe has proven to be a strong, leak proof and chemically inert solution for district
cooling applications including dual-purpose projects providing cooling and potable water.
It can be assembled on shore in a continuous flexible length, floated on the water’s
surface and then sunk by a controlled process. The pipe can also be manufactured in
specific lengths and connected on site by flanges with the aid of marine divers.
Sclairpipe’s resistance to both corrosion and zebra mussel fouling makes it an ideal
solution.
