Spiral rib pipe can solve your storm water problems with the improved hydraulics

Spiral rib pipe is our innovative flexible metal pipe that combines the proven strength of corrugated metal pipe with the flow capacity of a smooth inner wall. That is to say the product has two layers: the first layer is a smooth interior corrugated steel pipe and the second layer is a smooth steel liner providing for improved hydraulics. It is also called smooth wall spiral rib pipe or double wall corrugated steel pipe. It is economical and easy to install. It combines the advantages of many piping varieties into one revolutionary product. Spiral rib pipe is lightweight, easy to use and install, high strength, long-lasting and with superior performance therefore it is the perfect pipe that used for storm water sewer systems, culverts and drainage systems.

Spiral rib pipe features and benefits

1. Revolutionary hydraulic design: Spiral rib pipe has better hydraulics than the traditional metal pipe and manning’s n factor is 0.012 therefore it is allowed to be used interchangeably with concrete pipe and plastic pipe without affecting flow capacity.
2. Strength and durability: Spiral rib pipe is stiffer than HDPE pipe so it is less inclined to deflect and fracture. It maintains the project grade longer than concrete pipe due to the positive joint connection and long pipe lengths. Various metals and coatings are available depending on site conditions. Customers can match the metal and coatings with the site conditions to achieve the best engineering design service life and economic efficiency.
3. Cost savings on installation: Steel spiral rib is only weighs only 10% as much as concrete pipe while the aluminum spiral rib weighs only 3% as much. With the weight reduction it is easy to install and can save a lot of money on labor costs.
4. Versatility: Spiral rib can be fabricated in virtually any length or diameter. Our company can supply non-standard pipe size to meet your projects.

Applications

1. Can be used for pipes and culverts
2. Drainage systems
3. Storm water systems

To suit the applications in construction, our spiral rib pipe comes in different diameters and lengths of six meters or longer. The thicknesses range from 1.6mm to 2.8mm. The material can be galvanized or aluminized type 2 steel and is about 1/12th the weight of concrete pipe.
