Pipe Connection
1.Rubber Gasket Connection for Socket End Pipes
InstallationPrecautions:
The rubber gasket should be placed in the first corrugated groove of the pipe’s spigot end.
The pipe should be installed with the socket end facing upstream and the spigot end facing downstream.Proceed the installation from downstream to upstream.
For pipes with a diameter of DN400mm or less,a transversebaffleplateshouldbeinstalledatthecenterof the pipe end,and usea crowbaragainst the baffle plate for gradual insertion to designated position. For pipes with a diameterabove DN4oomm,useamanual lever hoist or other equivalent tools for gradual socket insertion.When closing the joint,maintain simultaneous operation of the hoist on both sides of the pipe during joint closure to ensure that the rubber gasket is properly positioned without distortion or detachment.
To prevent the pipe axis from shifting during joint closure, pipe stabilization measures should be implemented. Sandfilled woven bags can be placed on top of the installed pipes to secure them in place.After installing the pipe joints,post-installation verification of pipe elevationand alignment shall be conducted to meet the design requirements.

Comparison of HDPE Double-wall Corrugated Pipe and Concrete Pipe
1.HDPE double-wall corrugated pipe isa flexible pipe,while concrete pipe is rigid.Their mechanisms for bearing external loads are different under buried conditions.Flexible pipes permit deformation to a certain extent without damage,while concrete pipes occur cracks with minimal deformation.
2.The roughness coefficient of HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes is 0.010,while that of concrete pipes is O.014.Therefore,under the same operating conditions,the flow capacity of the double-wall corrugated pipe can be improved byabout 40 % .The double-wall corrugated pipe,which achieve equivalent design flow rate,can be designed witha lowerslope orasmallerdiameter.
3.HDPE double-wall corrugated pipesare much lighter inweightand easierto install thanconcrete pipes.Theweight comparison between HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes and concrete pipes is shown in theadjacenttable:
4.The performance comparison between HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes and concrete pipes is shown below:
| Nominal Inside Diameter DN(mm) | HDPE Double-wall Corrugated Pipe (kg/m) | Concrete Drainage Pipe (kg/m) |
| 225 | 3.04 | 60 |
| 300 | 4.90 | 85 |
| 400 | 9.54 | 120 |
| 500 | 12.81 | 200 |
| 600 | 17.60 | 275 |
| 800 | 35.70 | 400 |

5.Comparison of Construction Procedures Between HDPE Double-wall Corrugated Pipes and Concrete Pipes:
a) Construction procedures for HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes: Trenching $$ Pipe placement $$ Connection Manhole backfilling
b) Construction procedures for concrete pipes:Trenching $$ Set continuous bedding formwork $$ Place concrete bedding $$ Curing $$ Pipeplacement $$ Pipealignmentand stabilization $$ Set slanted wall formwork $$ Pourconcrete for slanted wall $$ Joint sealing $$ Curing $$ Construct manhole $$ Conduct water-tightness test $$ Backfilling
c) Based on the comparison above,the construction process of HDPE double-wall corrugated pipe is significantly simpler, which could effectively reduce construction costs and enhance construction efficiency.
In conclusion, HDPE double-wall corrugated pipes offer superior cost-effectiveness compared toconcrete pipes,making theman ideal replacement for traditional concrete pipe systems.
