Want to learn how HDPE compares to PVC in water or sewer infrastructure applications? This video, presented by the Alliance for PE Pipe, provides a detailed technical comparison between HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) and PVC piping systems for water and sewer infrastructure. The video covers considerations like construction ability – with an emphasis on trenchless installation and the benefits of longer pipe strings – along with standards and permeation.

Access to clean, reliable water is a foundation for community health and economic stability. Yet for many years in the Central American nation of Costa Rica, water utilities relied on aging systems and materials that were increasingly vulnerable to natural disasters and long‑term wear. “Water utilities form the backbone of communities, providing residents with clean and safe water for drinking, sanitation, and many other essential activities,” said McElroy International Sales Manager Juan Quintero. “Because these systems are so critical, …
Water piping systems are critical to the world’s infrastructure. Today, those systems are being designed and installed with an eye for sustainability, reliability, and efficiency. Welded HDPE fits all three of those criteria. When installed with a quality welding machine by a well-trained operator using an accepted standard, welded HDPE joints form a joint that is as strong – or stronger – than the surrounding pipe. Its proven record of reliability is clear in its …
