Polyethylene is recognised by clients and engineering consultants alike as the ideal pipe material for many pressure and non-pressure applications from water distribution to gravity sewers, rehabilitation projects, manholes, as well as marine pipeline applications.
Recognising client’s needs for large diameter, lightweight, plastic low-pressure pipes and fittings, KWH Pipe Ltd developed WEHOLITE, a pipe constructed using a patented structured wall process, making it possible to manufacture large diameter plastic pipes up to 3,500 mm.
WEHOLITE pipe represents the latest advances in both material and manufacturing technology. Its unique structure can offer a range of pipe sizes and ring stiffnesses, depending on customer requirements.
