ABOVE-GROUND HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE) …

TECHNICAL NOTES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE ENGINEERING # 12 SPOKANE, WASHINGTON January 2009 ABOVE-GROUND HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE (HDPE) PIPE BACKGROUND Occasionally, we work on projects that require pipe to be laid out across the prevailing terrain. The pipe may simply be placed on the ground surface, or it may be suspended or cradled in support structures. Above ground installations may be desired due to the economic considerations of a temporary piping system, the presence of rock and the cost for blasting a trench, land rights, cultural resources, or an easement that prevents burial of the pipe.

considerations of a temporary piping system, the presence of rock and the cost for blasting a trench, land rights, cultural resources, or an easement that prevents burial of the pipe. Polyethylene (PE) pipe provides good joint integrity, toughness, flexibility, and low weight to make its use practical for many “above ground” applications.
