Akatherm HDPE combines flexibility with robustness and reliability.

A complete solution without compromises.



HDPE JOINTING METHODS

Akatherm HDPE is a versatile thermoplastic polymer that can be joined using homogeneous welds to make strong and secure connections, without the need for additional glue or rubber rings.

Welded joints are a perfect combination for the most demanding applications that require the toughness, flexibility and impact resistance that Akatherm HDPE delivers.

A wide range of mechanical jointing solutions are available for applications that require adjustability, flexibility and the options to demount and inspect.

BIM: BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING

Akatherm offers HDPE Revit content packages for BIM. Our smart files will help you to create fast and accurate “as built” designs.

The intelligence assistance will automatically pick the right products for all direction changes, diameter jumps, branch angles and other junctions like the stack-aerator.

AKATHERM HDPE APPLICATIONS

VERSATILE, SECURE AND DURABLE

The Akatherm HDPE Soil & Waste system has been successfully used for over 50 years in the construction industry. It has the ideal material properties and jointing techniques that make it suited for a wide range of applications.

HIGH-RISE BUILDING DRAINAGE

Emporis Standard ESN 18727 defines high-rise buildings as multi-storey structures between 35-100 metres tall or a building of unknown height from 12-39 floors. Skyscrapers are at least 100 meters tall. A high-rise building drainage system interconnects many separate households, floor levels and offices spaces within a single drainage system at highly elevated flow rates. Properly managing these flow rates creates exponentially bigger challenges compared to low- and medium-rise buildings.
