UPVC (Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride) soil and waste pipes are commonly used in plumbing systems for the conveyance of sewage, rainwater, and other waste fluids. These pipes exhibit remarkable versatility and are utilised in diverse applications, such as underground drainage systems, hydroponics, and electric conduits in Singapore. Let’s delve into the key features of UPVC pipes that distinguish them from other options: Durability UPVC pipes are highly durable and resistant to chemical corrosion, making them suitable for carrying various waste fluids without degradation or damage over time. Non-Reactive UPVC is an inert material, meaning it does not react with the substances it carries. This...

When it comes to projects involving outdoor electrical systems, uPVC conduits have emerged as the go-to option for protecting wiring and cables. While pre-galvanised steel is unsuitable for outdoor use, as per A653/A65306a, BS EN 10142 & BS EN 10143 recommend it only for indoor commercial applications and not industrial or outdoor environments. As such, it is better to opt for uPVC conduits instead, and below are the advantages that make them the better choice. An Overview of uPVC Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, is the most widely produced synthetic polymer. Plasticisers are added in the manufacturing of PVC to increase its flexibility,...
