N-12 Smooth Interior Pipe
N-12 pipe has built an impressive service record in storm water and other drainage applications where hydraulics are important and durability is critical. The pipe is offered in diameters from 4” (100 mm) through 60” (1500 mm) in 20’ (6 m) lengths and also in 13’ (4 m) lengths for smaller trench boxes.
- 1. Corrugated Exterior Adds Strength
- The natural toughness of HDPE is enhanced by the corrugated exterior which increases the structural strength of N-12 pipe. It is designed for use under both H-25 and E-80 live loads.
- 2. Smooth Interior Provides Superior Flow
- In order to meet the most demanding hydraulic requirements, N-12 pipe is manufactured with a smooth inner wall.
- 3. Convenience on the Jobsite
- N-12 pipe’s light weight leads to a number of job site economies: more pipe per delivery truck, easier handling, smaller crews, less heavy equipment, less pipe damage, and better safety. The pipe cuts easily and requires no beveling for joining.
Couplings and Fittings
ADS offers the industry’s most complete selection of joining systems for gravity-flow pipe. Our fittings are available in both singlewall and N-12 dual wall categories.
- 1. Standard Drainage Couplers and Fittings
- ADS single wall fitings are made of high-density polyethylene materials and are most commonly used in residential, commerical, and agricultural applications.
- 2. Small Diameter N-12 Fittings
- ADS offers a full complement of injection molded fittings in 4” (100 mm) through 12” (300 mm) sizes. These fittings are available in both watertight models, which include an F477 gasket for attaching to the spigot end of the pipe and soil-tight styles with cleats in the bells of the fittings.
StormTech Chambers
StormTech has thousands of chamber systems in service throughout the world. All StormTech chambers are designed to meet the most stringent industry performance standards for superior structural integrity.
The StormTech system is designed primarily to be used under parking lots, roadways, and heavy earth loads saving valuable land and protecting water resources for commercial and municipal applications.
Advanced Performance for Greater Long-Term Reliability:
- Collaboration with world-renowned experts of buried drainage structures to develop and evaluate the structural testing program and product design.
- Signing chambers to exceed AASHTO LRFD design specifications for HS-20 live loads and deep burial earth loads.
- Subjecting the chambers to rigorous full scale testing under severe loading conditions to verify the AASHTO safety factors for live load and deep burial applications
What StormTech Chambers Can Provide:
- Large capacity that fits very tight footprints
- The robust continuous true elliptical arch design
- Incorporates traditional manifold/header designs
Water Quality Units
ADS underground Water Quality Units have become an increasingly efficient solution for treating storm water. These durble, lightweight structures have been specifically designed for fast installation and easy maintenance.
Water Quality Units are designed to manage the quality of water discharged during a storm by removing sediments and hydrocarbons.
Proven Effectiveness
Field and laboratory tests have consistently verified the performance of ADS Water Quality Units.
- Installed units in Davidson County, Tennessee, showed a mean TSS removal efficiency of 91.4%
- Sediment removal lab tests in Massachusetts at varying flow rates yielded efficiencies from 81.9% to 90.3%
- Oil capture was measured by an independent laboratory under a range of flow volumes. The mean capture rate was 79.8%
Geosynthetics
Geotextiles
Woven and non-woven geotextiles offer a range of styles to fit a variety of subsurface construction applications. Durably constructed of polypropylene, these geotextiles provide permanent, cost-efficient solutions that are completely environmentally compatible.
Geogrids
ADS BX geogrids are a punched and drawn polypropylene product used in road reinforcement to increase life and reduce maintenance costs. The full line of biaxial geogrids offer high flexural rigidity and high-tensile strength at ribs and junctions.
Inserta Tee
Inserta Tee is a three-piece service connection consisting of a PVC Hub, Rubber Sleeve and Stainless Steel Band. Inserta Tee is compression fit into the cored wall of a mainline and requires no special tooling. They are designed to connect 2” (50 mm) through 24” (600 mm) laterals to all known solid wall, profile, closed profile, corrugated pipe and manhole structures manufactured today
Applications for Inserta Tee include:
- Storm Sewers
- Roof Drains
- Catch Basin
- Manholes
- Wet Wells
- Sliplining
- Pipe Bursting
Nyloplast Surface Drainage Products
Nyloplast engineered drainage structures combine performance proven ductile iron grates with rugged heavy-duty PVC bodies to offer a superior alternative to traditional costly and cumbersome concrete structures. The complete line includes inline drains, drain basins, curb inlet structures, road and highway structures, and various other structure types ranging from 8” (200 mm) through 36” (900 mm).
Weir Structure
The Weir Structure is a Nyloplast catch basin with a panel or plate device secured inside the structure that is designed to divert inflowing water to a preferred outlet or to regulate the outflow of water from the drainage system.
FlexStorm Inlet Filters
State DOTs and Municipalities across the country now have a universal structural BMP to address the issue of storm sewer inlet protection. The FlexStorm system is inexpensive, configurable, and offers more versatility to fit the wide array of drainage structures throughout the United States. The FlexStorm Inlet Filters offer various levels of filtration.
FlexStorm Features
- Configurable:Steel frames configure to fit any storm drainage structure.
- Reusable:: Geotextile sediment bags designed for construction or postconstruction applications.
- Affordable: Low per-unit cost. Easily installed and maintained with one worker, without additional equipment
- Effective:Works below grade. Built in bypass and overflow feature allows streets to drain with full bag to prevent ponding.
