What Is The Cost To Install HDPE Pipework?
The cost to install HDPE pipe systems can vary between Ā£65-Ā£120 per meter, many things can factor into this cost these include:
The size of the pipe
How good the access to the area is
Labour costs
The price of the materials needed to install the pipe.
We can also assist with the design elements of your HDPE pipe project. If you would like a quote on the HDPE Services we provide, get in contact with a member of our team today on 0121 405 1719.
Benefits Of High Density Polyethylene Pipe (HDPE Pipe) Systems
High Density Polyethene pipelines (HDPE pipe) are favoured by water companies for the delivery of drinking water to millions of homes across the United Kingdom.
Designed and manufactured to last over 50 years at its maximum operating pressure, it is the best product for all water main installations, gas pipework and fire hydrants/sprinkler mains.
HDPE pipe systems are great for the following reasons:
High flexibility and lightweight
Low friction and high flow rate
Able to be fusion welded throughout
Resistance to corrosion
Suitable for various installation methods
Cost saving in transportation and installation
High Density Polyethene Pipe (HDPE Pipe) has the ability to expand and contract with fluctuating operating system pressures and ground movement.
This piping systemās flexibility whilst maintaining pressure holding strength means the network remains leak-free and suitable for continual use for a very long period.
As HDPE pipe is able to be fusion welded, this gives asset owners long-term confidence the pipeline will operate leak-free for its full design life.
What Is Protecta Line?
Protecta Line is the original plastic pipe system trusted by water authorities, housebuilders, contractors and installers to safely transport drinking water through contaminated land for over 20 years.
Protecta Line plastic piping has a multi-layer construction consisting of an internal polyethene core for carrying clean water, an aluminium barrier layer and finally an outer polyethene layer for protection.
All our engineers are WIAPS registered & Approved installers and highly trained with the latest equipment to install, commission and repair all Protecta Line plastic pipes.
Can You Butt Fusion Weld HDPE Pipe?
Heat or butt fusion welding is how our HDPE pipe systems are installed in the UK.
The installation uses a hydraulic butt fusion machine that welds the ends of the HDPE pipes.
Can You Electrofusion Weld The HDPE Pipe?
ECK Civil Engineering Ltd has grown to not only be a supplier, manufacturing and installation company but we can also carry out underground leak detection throughout the UK.
As HDPE pipework engineers we have the experience, knowledge and latest equipment to undertake underground leak detection. As we offer pipework and groundworks services, when and if we find a leak, we are able to repair leaks efficiently and quickly.
Whether you have an underground mains water supply pipe leak, potential gas leak or just need an annual survey to check for repairs our HDPE pipework engineers can assist.
Detecting leaks in underground pipework can be challenging, however, we have a wide range of technology available to us such as gas leak detection, pipe mic, and acoustic leak detection equipment.
At HDPE Pipeline Contractors, we can assist you with the best options available. Get in touch today for more HDPE Pipeline services information.

FAQs
Why Are HDPE Pipes Used?
HDPE pipes are used to provide an underground water supply.
This is because they provide a zero leak rate and they are more environmentally sustainable than an average pipe since it doesn’t carry toxins.
Can HDPE Pipes Be Used For Hot Water?
HDPE pipes can be used for hot water as a liner in a multilayer pipe.
HDPE pipes were originally not equipt to stand the temperature of hot water however, suppliers then developed cross-linked polyethylene which provided the high-temperature performance needed to be used for hot water.
How long will the HDPE pipe last?
HDPE pipes are built to last a very long time almost 50-100 years this is because of the high-density polyethylene that the pipe is made out of.
They are built to last so you wouldn’t have to replace them for a while.
