Joint Performance (PDF)
When you specify storm sewer pipe, you may not be specifying the performance that you think - especially for the pipe's joints. Here's what you need to know and do to include reliable pipe specifications in your design.
Joint Testing (PDF)
Are you settling for marginal joint performance concrete specifications allow? Discover the higher standards that corrugated polyethylene delivers.
Joint Integrity (PDF)
After joint specification and testing, proper field installation is critical to successful long-term pipe performance. Take a good look at why concrete pipe is a challenge for contractors to install correctly – and why N-12 HDPE pipe is a better alternative.
ADS Introduces High-Tech Watertight Joint (PDF)
N-12 WT is the third generation of watertight joints and uses space-age technology to meet or exceed ASTM D3212 lab test and ASTM F1417 watertight field test. This watertight technology becomes increasingly more important as the EPA puts stricter requirements into place.
