AdvanEDGE - Panel Pipe for Rapid-response Drainage
ADS AdvanEDGE panel pipe provides the dimensional stability and fi eld-proven structural strength for quick, effective subsurface drainage. It consists of a perforated panel-shaped plastic core wrapped with geotextile for soil fi ltration. The distinguishing performance feature of panel pipe is its ability to rapidly collect and remove water. Compared to 4" round pipe with an equal length of 12", panel pipe has twice the soil contact area and will drain a given quantity of water in about 60% of the time. Its slim 1.5" profi le permits a narrow trench and faster installation.
AdvanEDGE is truly a pipe. It’s not round, of course, but its panel-shaped core fully encloses the waterway. Lateral pillars maintain the core opening, resulting in a series of oval-shaped channels providing superior strength and relatively few projections into the waterway. The design of the invert permits signifi cantly higher fl ow velocity at lower head.
An effective solution for a wide range of applications:
- Highway edge drains
- Athletic turf drainage
- Building foundations and retaining walls
- Waste management curtain drains
Features:
- 12" and 18" (300 and 450 mm) oblong dimensions available
- 100 ft and 500 ft lengths available
- Fast installation times
- Manufactured from high density polyethylene resin
Benefi ts:
- Invert design permits signifi cantly higher fl ow velocity at lower head
- Structural superiority confi rmed by state fi eld performance tests of edge drains
- Higher fl ow capacity compared to various geocomposites
- Slim-line design allows for narrow trench installation, easily cut in with high-speed trenching equipment
- Long-term durability of HDPE
Scope
This specifi cation describes 12" and 18" (300 and 450 mm) ADS AdvanEDGE oblong corrugated pipe for use in subsurface drainage applications.
Pipe Requirements
ADS AdvanEDGE shall meet ASTM D7001 and have outside dimensions of 1.5" wide by 13" tall or 1.5" wide by 18" tall. AdvanEDGE shall have internal bracing adjoining each long wall to prevent crushing under typical loading. AdvanEDGE shall be made available with or without external geotextile wrap.
Material Properties
All pipe and fi ttings shall be made of polyethylene with a minimum cell classifi cation of 424420C as defi ned and described in ASTM D3350.
