Yichang municipal pipe network renovation, plastic pipes are suitable for urban drainage supporting construction

As an important city along the Yangtze River, Yichang's urban drainage system plays a key role in flood control and drainage and improving the living environment. With the development of the city, the aging of the old pipe network and the shortage of pipe diameter have gradually become prominent, and the transformation of the municipal pipe network is imminent. With many advantages, plastic pipes have become the suitable choice for urban drainage supporting construction.

Plastic pipes have excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of various acid and alkali substances in urban drainage. Compared with traditional pipes, they have a longer service life and effectively reduce later maintenance costs. At the same time, their light weight greatly simplifies the transportation and construction process. In the scene of narrow streets and limited underground space on main roads in the old city, the construction efficiency is significantly improved and the impact on citizens' travel is reduced.

For different drainage scenarios, plastic pipes can be flexibly adapted: the large-diameter drainage pipe network of the main road needs to carry large-flow rainwater, and the high compressive performance of plastic pipes can meet the demand; in the renovation of the branch pipes in old residential areas, the flexibility of the pipes is convenient for laying in complex underground environments, accurately connecting with the existing pipe network. In addition, the recyclable properties of plastic pipes are in line with the concept of urban green construction, helping to build a sustainable drainage supporting system.

At present, plastic pipes have been widely used in a number of municipal pipe network renovation projects in Yichang, providing reliable support for the upgrade of urban drainage systems, promoting the development of urban drainage facilities in an efficient, durable and green direction, and further enhancing the city's resilience to extreme weather.
