HDPE & PVC Pipe

Non-metallic pipe, such as HDPE, PVC, and FRP are subject to crushing (from overburden pressure) and point loads from rocks in trench backfill and often fail due to slow crack growth.  HDPE can also fail due to weld problems.  While they do not corrode, these pipes can still fail catastrophically or develop leaks.  PICA’s CCTV and laser in-line inspection tools can find and quantify defects in non-metallic pipes.  With access through manholes and clean-outs or ARVs, PICA’s high-resolution solutions can size defects with a high degree of precision.
