A challenging redevelopment in Canada is just one recent examples of how corrugated pipe can help contractors deal with punishing conditions in infrastructure projects


When infrastructure projects need tough pipe to withstand punishing conditions, they invariably reach for corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. Recently, corrugated HDPE pipe from Soleno was used to redevelop the former Canadian National Railways (CNRS) repair complex in Pointe-Saint-Charles in Quebec – and subsequently named project of the year by the Plastics Pipe Institute (PPI) last year. The project used large diameter corrugated HDPE pipe in a new storm water drainage system that met local codes and would be able to stand up to the contaminated soil – caused by its former use

as an old industrial site. “This project is on difficult and contaminated


terrain, so HDPE pipe was selected to serve as the backbone of the infrastructure,” said Tony Radosze- wski, president of PPI. “The pipe selection was based on criteria including ease of installation and resistance to contaminated soil. It became evident that HDPE pipe was the only solution that would ensure the sustainability of this underground infrastructure project.” As part of a new commercial complex in


Pointe-Saint-Charles, a complete storm sewer system had to be built under a 300- space parking lot that would comply with the municipal require-
