Plastic Pipework in Construction
Today, across the USA, parts of Europe and the rest of the World, the use of plastic pipework for a wide variety of applications is becoming increasingly popular, especially in the last 15-20 years. There are several types of plastic used by pipework contractors for varying purposes in construction. Some of the more popular plastic pipework includes Polyvinyl Chloride, Polyethylene and Cross-Linked Polyethylene.
Polyethylene (PE) Pipework
Polyethylene pipework is a common form of plastic appropriate for piping applications in tubing for rural water wells, underground irrigation and landscaping or farm drainage due to its higher flexibility in relation to the vinyls, although this is at the expense of a more workable strength. Polyethylene is composed from 100% ethylene and it is the lack of chlorine and this composition that gives PE plastic pipework it’s higher flexibility.
