Current US Pipe Market for Drainage and Sanitary Sewer Applications

Concrete Pipe has 80% to 85% of the present $6.4 billion drainage pipe market and 20% to 30% of the $3.5 billion sanitary sewer market. Concrete pipe presently has the largest market share in all pipe sizes for drainage and large diameter pipe in sanitary sewer.

PVC SDR 35 has the largest share of the sanitary sewer market (70% to 80%) due to the volume of small diameter.

Corrugated HDPE Drainage presently has a $0.9 billion market mainly in agriculture and storm sewer drainage.

Corrugated Steel Drainage maintains a $1 billion plus market that is dominated by larger pipe sizes.

WaterTyte ^tm joining of corrugated polyethylene pipe is far superior to concrete and PVC in the sanitary sewer and drainage markets providing product differentiation (true water tight), lower production costs. Higher margins are attainable by offering products having  warranties based on performance standards for sanitary and drainage applications.

WaterTyte ^tm corrugated polyethylene pipe substantially reduces the total cost of waste water treatment by eliminating infiltration present in current PVC and concrete pipe systems.  These savings combined with lower pipe and installation costs give WaterTyte ^tm Corrugated HDPE Pipe a major advantage as viewed by county and municipality engineers responsible for total operating costs.

Low cost WaterTyte ^tm joining of corrugated polyethylene pipes provides zero in and out performance reducing sedimentation of highway runoff  that is identified by Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other organizations as the number one cause of contaminating the nation's waterways.
