Feeding the nation and the world, the American farmer has relied on drainage pipe to maximize land efficiency. Since introducing corrugated pipe to the United States in 1966, ADS has led the industry in providing quality pipe, fittings and other accessories to improve the effectiveness.

MEGA GREEN™
Offering a minimum recycled content of 40%, ADS MEGA GREEN HDPE pipe is the developer's and designer's choice for "green projects", helping you meet LEED requirements.

N-12® Corrugated Pipe
Since introducing corrugated dual wall pipe in 1986, N-12 pipe has become accepted across the nation as a superior alternative to reinforced concrete pipe and corrugated steel storm sewer pipe. Available in 4”-60” diameters, N-12 pipe offers superior hydraulics combined with corrosion and abrasion resistance, to provide a strong durable choice for storm water management. N-12 pipe is also used in grain aeration and in animal feed operations for waste removal.

Other applications include grain aeration and animal feed operations for waste removal.
