A proper drainage system is crucial for hygiene, safety, and structural integrity. Without it, wastewater accumulates, leading to unhygienic conditions and health hazards. Drainage pipes and fittings help channel wastewater and rainwater away from homes, roads, and fields, preventing its accumulation. In urban planning and home plumbing alike, a well-maintained drainage system ensures wastewater flow, protects the environment, and keeps communities safe.

PVC Drain Pipe - Hi Tech Structured Wall Plastic Pipes

Eco-drainage pipes are engineered with a specialized wall structure that incorporates longitudinal perforations in an I-beam profile. Compared to conventional solid wall PVC pipes, these drain pipes are much lighter and more economical while still maintaining similar stiffness levels. They also weigh considerably less than concrete pipes of the same load-bearing capacity. This innovative design makes Foam Core Structured Wall Pipes a cost-efficient alternative, overcoming the limitations once linked to traditional PVC drain pipes. Owing to their durability and cost benefits, these structured plastic pipes are now widely adopted for drainage and sewerage applications.

Exceptional Structural Strength
Eco-drainage pipes are built with a robust I-beam core structure, offering a high moment of inertia. This innovative design gives them the resilience needed to bear heavy soil loads, ensuring long-lasting structural integrity even under pressure.

Superior Flow Capacity
Thanks to their ultra-smooth inner surface, these pipes provide excellent hydraulic performance. Reduced friction not only enhances flow rates but also minimizes the risk of clogging, ensuring a clean, uninterrupted system.

Leak-Proof Jointing System
Engineered for reliability, the pipes feature a smart jointing system with a click ring and sealing ring, ensuring completely watertight connections and preventing leakage.

Fast and Flexible Installation
Lightweight and available in extended lengths, Eco-drainage pipes are easy to handle, making installation quicker and more efficient compared to conventional alternatives.

Reduced Installation Costs
With minimized trenching and gradient requirements, the overall installation process is simpler and more economical, leading to significant savings in labor and equipment.

Corrosion and Chemical Resistance
Made to endure, these pipes resist damage from corrosion and harsh chemicals, offering dependable performance in a variety of conditions.

Hygienic and Safe Operation
Watertight seals and a blockage-resistant design ensure the system remains clean and delivers trouble-free performance.

Low Maintenance Requirements
Once installed, these pipes require minimal upkeep, reducing long-term maintenance costs and downtime.

Foam Core Structured Wall Pipe

Supreme offers foam core pipes ranging from 110 mm to 315 mm in diameter, designed with socketed ends for easy installation. These pipes are manufactured in SN 2, SN 4, and SN 8 classes, fully compliant with IS 16098 standards.

Ultra Plus DWC Structured wall Pipes & Fittings

Ultra Plus DWC HDPE Pipes are a reliable and advanced choice for sewage and stormwater drainage systems. Designed with a robust corrugated exterior and a smooth inner surface, they offer outstanding strength and efficient flow. This structure allows them to withstand heavy soil pressure and traffic loads, making them ideal for underground installations. Their lightweight nature makes handling and installation faster and easier, helping reduce labor requirements and overall project costs.

Great Flexibility
Lightweight and elastic, these pipes easily adapt to varied terrain and contour patterns, making them ideal for drainage systems and complex pipe fittings.

High Structural Stiffness
Designed to handle heavy soil pressure and traffic loads, DWC pipes maintain their shape and integrity after installation.

Perfect Hydraulic Properties
Glass' smooth inner surface has a Manning's coefficient of 0.009 - 0.010, helping in the rapid disposal of flowing waste. This low-friction surface significantly lowers the risk of blockages while enhancing flow efficiency, resulting in up to 40% greater carrying capacity than concrete pipes.

Excellent Resistance to Corrosion and Chemicals
Made from HDPE plastic, these pipes resist corrosion, chemical reactions, and abrasion, outperforming traditional metal and concrete alternatives in harsh environments.

Watertight Joints 
Precision-engineered joints prevent infiltration, ex-filtration, and root intrusion, helping to protect surrounding soil and groundwater from contamination.

Cost-Effective Solution
Offering 60 to 70% weight savings compared to solid-wall plastic pipes and 95% compared to concrete, these pipes are significantly more cost-effective. 

Environmentally Friendly
Recyclable and non-polluting, DWC pipes help protect the environment while maintaining watertight systems that prevent soil and groundwater contamination.

High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) Pipes

Supreme extends its trusted range with HDPE pipes, designed to exceed expectations in sewerage and drainage systems. Whether you’re working with gravity flow or pressurized setups, these pipes offer exceptional strength and leak-proof reliability. Manufactured to IS 14333 standards and compatible with butt-welding, they resist corrosion and harsh conditions. It makes them ideal for long-term use in any environment.

When it comes to building a reliable and efficient drainage system, the right underground drainage pipes make all the difference. Whether you need robust performance in underground sewerage, flexible solutions for varied terrain, or long-lasting resistance to corrosion and chemicals, today’s advanced drainage pipe options like Eco-drain PVC pipes, Foam Core Structured Wall Pipes, Ultra Plus DWC HDPE pipes, and HDPE sewerage pipes offer tailored advantages for every application.

FAQs

Q: Which pipe is used for drainage?
A: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) and HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) pipes are the most commonly used for drainage due to their durability, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation. 

Q: What are the 3 types of rainwater / stormwater drainage?
A: The three main types of drainage systems are:
Surface Drainage – Channels, gutters, and drains that remove excess water from the surface to prevent pooling.
Subsurface Drainage – Pipes or perforated drains installed underground to manage water accumulation below the surface.
Stormwater Drainage – A specialized system designed to handle rainwater runoff and prevent flooding in residential and commercial areas.

Q: Which pipe is best for house drainage?
A: PVC pipes are the preferred choice for house drainage due to their affordability, lightweight nature, resistance to corrosion, and long lifespan. HDPE pipes are another excellent option, known for their flexibility and durability, making them ideal for underground drainage systems.

Q: Is drain pipe PVC or CPVC?
A: Drain pipes are typically made of PVC, as it is designed for non-pressurized drainage applications. CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) is mainly used for hot and cold water supply systems due to its higher temperature resistance, making it less common for drainage purposes.
