West Chester, OH (September 15, 2020) – Contech Engineered Solutions' DuroMaxx steel-reinforced polyethylene (SRPE) pipe, which is available in diameters as large as 120 inches, was recently approved by the American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) for both direct-bury and reline applications.
DuroMaxx SRPE combines the strength of 80 kilopounds per square inch (ksi) steel with the durability of HDB-rated polyethylene plastic. DuroMaxx can be used for municipal wastewater, irrigation, storm sewer, pipeline rehabilitation, and other highly critical and demanding applications across the US. This is evidenced by the full approval recently achieved for the use of DuroMaxx SRPE in AREMA. To review the AREMA Manual for Railway Engineering, click here.
