DWC Pipes for Sewage Application
The DWC Pipes for drainage and sewage application is a bit new to Indian Market, but this product is in use in European and other developed countries since last 4 decades.
The DWC Pipe is a sustainable and reliable replacement of conventional Pipes used in sewage transportation.
The DWC Pipes are manufactured using High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) . HDPE being almost an inert material, provides resistance to almost all the chemical and gases available/generated in sewage piping network.
Opticon has got IS 16098 Part 2 (CM/L No: 8400117513) to produce these Pipes for sizes mentioned hereunder

Advantages of Opticon DWC Pipes for Fluid Application:
- Excellent chemical, corrosion and abrasion resistance properties - Being in plastics, these Pipes are free from corrosion and offer excellent resistance to wide range of chemicals. These Pipes have excellent abrasion resistance which gives an edge over metal and concrete Pipes.
- Long life - Being free from corrosion, chemical reactiveness and excellent abrasion resistance these Pipes can last over a century
- Watertight joints - Joints are 100% watertight and hence free from any infiltration, ex-filtration and root penetration. Due to this feature, surroundings remain unaffected and possibility of soil or underground water pollution is eliminated.
- Eco-friendly- Processing and reprocessing of these Pipes does not have any adverse impact on the environment, watertight joints eliminate the possibility of soil and underground water pollution.
- Cost effective - 60 to 70% weight saving in comparison to solid wall plastic Pipes and 95% lighter than concrete Pipes make these Pipes much cost effective.
- Maintenance free – Being free from scaling, encrustation and chemical re-activeness there is no need of any regular maintenance. Occasional flushing with water keeps the surface smooth and helps in enhancing the functionality.
- Easy and quick installation- Due to longer lengths and lighter weight Pipes, installation becomes very convenient and fast. These Pipes are very easy to joint using slip-on techniques
- Great flexibility - Being light in weight and elastic in nature, these Pipes offer lot of flexibility while installation as they are adaptable to any type of contour patterns.
- Excellent stiffness - Suitable to withstand heavy overload pressure (soil and traffic loads) and sustain various loads that will encounter during installation and in use.
- Perfect hydraulic properties - Glass smooth inner surface having manning's coefficient 0.009 - 0.010 (which remain constant without any deterioration during life expectancy) helps in rapid disposal of flowing waste.
