Most of the old residential areas in Huangshi Old Town were built in the middle and late last century. The rain and sewage pipe network generally has problems such as material aging, unreasonable layout, and mixed discharge, which not only affect the drainage and sewage efficiency, but also restrict the upgrading of the living environment in the old city. With the start of the old city renovation construction project, the repair of the rain and sewage pipe network in the community has become a key transformation content, and the plastic pipe has become the core material selection in the project with its excellent adaptability.
Compared with traditional pipes, plastic pipes have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, light weight and good flexibility, and are suitable for the complex underground construction environment of the old city. The underground pipelines in the old city are dense and the construction space is limited. The lightweight properties of plastic pipes greatly reduce the difficulty of handling and installation. Its good flexibility can also adapt to the displacement caused by ground subsidence and reduce the risk of pipe network damage in the later stage. In the process of rain and sewage diversion transformation, the smooth inner wall of plastic pipes can improve the speed of water flow, reduce siltation, and effectively solve the problem of poor sewage discharge of the old pipe network.
In the rain and sewage pipe network repair projects in several residential areas in Huangshi Old Town, the construction team selected different specifications of plastic pipes for targeted transformation according to the pipe network layout and drainage needs of the residential area. From branch pipe replacement to main network connection, the adaptability of plastic pipes ensured the efficient progress of the renovation project, shortened the construction period, and reduced the impact on the daily life of residents. After the renovation was completed, the mixed flow of rain and sewage in the residential area was completely solved, and the drainage capacity was significantly improved, effectively avoiding the hidden danger of waterlogging in the rainy season, and creating a cleaner and more livable living environment for the residents of the old city.
The application of plastic pipes in the renovation of the old city of Huangshi is not only a functional repair of the old pipe network, but also an important measure to promote the upgrading of urban infrastructure, injecting new impetus into the sustainable development of the old city.
