Vinidex StormPRO® &
SewerPRO® pipes aretwin-wall, corrugated
polypropylene pipes for
non-pressure applications.
Utilising modern co-extrusion techniques, StormPRO® & SewerPRO® are
manufactured with a smooth bore for optimum hydraulic performance and a corrugated
outside wall for high stiffness to weight ratio. By combining the strength and toughnessof advanced polypropylene materials with the structured wall design, StormPRO® &
SewerPRO® pipes provide an environmentally sensitive, cost-effective piping systemfor a multitude of sewerage and drainage applications in sizes ranging from 150mm to
900mm.Please click on the the areas that you are interested in below, browse through the

provide more flexibility in design for
Sensitive to the environment
• Material-efficient production reduces
the use of raw materials
• Long life product
• Less exfiltration than old materials – less pollution
•
Less infiltration – savings ontreatment costs due to lower volumes
being treated
• Recyclable at end of life

different sites and conditions
• No chamfer required
• Strength of product and impact
resistance means site handling iseasier
• Ease of jointing means faster
installation
Strength
• Tough corrugated outer wall
provides strength and impactresistance, while smooth inner wall
gives optimum hydraulic flow
• Robust pipes can be used in almostsite conditions
• Flexible pipe gives the ability to
cope with soil movement and more
construction equipment trafficwithout cracking. More forgiving
than rigid pipes
• SewerPRO® pipes are classified
SN10 with a minimum stiffness of 10,000 N/m.m. StormPRO® pipes
are classified SN8 with a minimum
stiffness of 8,000 N/m.m.
Easy to handle
• Lightweight product makes handling
and positioning pipes easier and
safer. Less safety risk as pipes arelighter
• Less heavy equipment needed to
Adapts to soil movements more forgivingthan rigid pipes and less
environmental impact from leakage
• Vinidex SewerPRO® andStormPRO® pipes are flexible. This
means that as vertical loads are
applied the pipe will deflect and take
advantage of horizontal soil pressureto provide additional support. After
initial compaction and settlement,
applied vertical loads have very littleeffect on deflection.
• Rigid pipes such as steel reinforced
concrete pipes do not deflect and are
designed to carry all applied verticalloads caused by soil and traffic. The
surrounding soil provides little or no
horizontal support to a rigid pipe. Notwithstanding this, proper
placement and compaction of
bedding material around rigid pipesis critical in minimising the load on
the pipe.
• Flexible pipes have some ability to
deform without structural damageand provide designers and installers
with a range of advantages. As
flexible pipes transfer load through
deflection, loading outside design parameters leads mostly to
deformation without structural
damage.
• Overloading results in cracking of
rigid pipes. Flexible pipes provide a
substantial insurance for operational
conditions.

unload, handle product on site and
position into trenches
• Long lengths means less joints
needed
• Simple and effective joints means noleaks and more secure than old
materials (concrete)
• Easy to join pipes together
• Pipes can be cut to any lengthrequired
Simple and effective joints means no leaks
and more secure than old materials
(concrete)
• Push-fit compression rubber ring
joints
• Easy to join pipes together
• The joint is simple, precise and
reliable
• Pipes can be cut to any length
required
• Rings do not roll and cannot be
displaced
• The rubber ring is located on thespigot in the last trough between the
corrugations.
• Leak-tightness and protection againsttree-root intrusion
the issue of leaking sewers which
have significant environmental
consequences.
Its objective was to determine which pipe
material could better fulfil the requirementsof sustainability in the broadest sense –
operational and environmental.
The study examined CCTV footage of approximately 1800km of buried pipes in
service, limited to those pipes installed in
the last 30 years. The study includedconcrete and clay pipes (rigid pipes) and
various plastic pipes including
polypropylene (flexible pipes). Infiltration
and exfiltration were recognised as the principal causes of environmental impact
during the service life of a sewer network.
The conclusions of the study were:
• In service, flexible pipes perform better than rigid pipes. Flexible
pipelines are significantly less likely
to have defects than are rigid pipes.
• Installation of flexible pipelinesystems significantly reduces risk to
the environment caused by
infiltration and exfiltration*

Optimum hydraulic performance
• SewerPRO®'s smooth inner skinallows optimum hydraulic flow
• The surface is resistant to build-up
Able to be used in aggressive or saline
soils
in domestic or industrial applications
• Abrasion resistance
• SewerPRO® polypropylene pipe isresistant to corrosion by aggressivesoils and substances typically found
in sewage effluent, including most
industrial discharges
• Chemical resistance offers the abilityto use in soils affected by salinity or
other aggressive soils. This
minimises soil restoration activityand costs.
• This is a big advantage where saline
soil is increasingly an issue for pipe
system designers. SewerPRO® doesnot need to have special liners or
sacrificial inner skins.
• SewerPRO®’s chemical resistance
allows it to be used in industrialsewer applications

Joint details
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes have a simple and effective rubber ring joint system
which is easy to assemble, leak-tight and protects against tree root intrusion. The rubber
ring is located on the spigot in the last trough between the corrugations. Figure B showsthe joint in cross section. For sizes DN150 to DN600, the pipe can be cut to length as
required anywhere along the barrel and the same jointing system used. For pipe sizes
DN750 and DN900, couplings are available for cut pipe.
Chemical resistance
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 24/42
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® polypropylene pipes are resistant to corrosion by
aggressive soils and substances typically found in sewage effluent, including mostindustrial discharges. Therefore, the question of chemical resistance is likely to arise only
if the pipes are used in unusual circumstances.
Chemical resistance is affected by concentration, temperature, period of contact andstress. Polypropylene is resistant to weak inorganic acids, organic acids, alcohols,
ammonia and oxidising salts and has limited resistance to aliphatic hydrocarbons, esters,
ketones and ethers.Polypropylene is generally not recommended for aromatic and halogenated
hydrocarbons. For more details or to check resistance to specific chemicals, refer to the
Vinidex Chemical Resistance Guide (VIN 067) on our website www.vinidex.com.au/
page/technical_support.html.
Temperature
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes have high temperature resistance. Continuousservice temperatures of up to 60°C and short term applications of up to 90°C will not
adversely affect the performance.
Weathering resistance
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are manufactured from compounds containingadditives which ensure their resistance to ultraviolet light and weathering during handling
and storage.
Manufacture
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes incorporate the latest manufacturing technologyusing continuous polypropylene dual extrusion combined with a vacuum controlled
corrugating process. The twin-wall structure consists of simultaneously extruded smooth
inner wall and corrugated outer wall.
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 25/42
At the valley of each corrugation, where the inner and outer walls meet, the two surfaces
are fused together for the full circumference of the pipe.
Standards
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are manufactured in accordance with AS/NZS 5065:
"Polyethylene and Polypropylene pipes and fittings for drainage and sewerageapplications", complying with the dimensional requirements of Type B pipes - ID series.
AS/NZS 5065 classifies pipes according to their minimum ring-bending stiffness in short
term laboratory tests.This is a measure of the ability of a pipe to resist deformation due to an external load.
Stiffness classes are identified by an SN number where a higher number indicates greater
resistance to deflection.
SewerPRO® pipes are classified as SN10 with a minimum stiffness of 10,000 N/m.m.
StormPRO® pipes are classified as SN8 with a minimum stiffness of 8000 N/m.m.

DESIGN
Hydraulic designStormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are normally sized to accommodate maximumdesign discharge when flowing full.
The discharge rates in Figure C below for StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes flowing
full are based on the Colebrook-White formula which is recognised by engineersthroughout the world as the most accurate basis for hydraulic design over a wide range of
flow conditions.
The Colebrook-White formula expresses velocity as:
In addition to friction losses in the pipeline, a pressure drop will occur due to energy loss
at any change in the direction of flow or pipeline cross section. In long pipelines, these"form losses" are usually small in comparison to friction losses. However, they may be
considerable in pipelines with many fittings or in short pipes such as in culvert
applications, where entry and exit losses may dominate. For more information on formlosses, consult the Vinidex Flow Charts (VIN015 and
VIN039) http://www.vinidex.com.au/page/technical_support.html.
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 27/42
Choice of roughness coefficients
AS2200 - Design charts for water supply and sewerage - recommends k values in therange 0.003 to 0.015mm for clean, concentrically jointed thermoplastics pipes and
AS3500.3 - National plumbing and drainage, Part 3 Stormwater drainage - specifies
0.015mm for design of plastics stormwater pipe drains for normal conditions.
However, it is important to note that factors such as slime growth and accumulation of
debris can affect the selection of roughness coefficient in some circumstances.
In addition, local utilities may have preferred values for design of their systems. For flow
under alternative conditions contact Vinidex or use the Vinidex Friction Loss in UniformFluid Flow (FLUFF) software, http://www.vinidex.com.au/page/technical_support.html.
For partial flow, consult Figure C for adjustment factors.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 28/42
Structural Design
Under general gravity drainage and sewer pipe laying conditions, detailed calculations
predicting pipe performance are not necessary. Following an extensive study of installed pipe performance, the European Plastic Pipe and Fitting Association (TEPPFA)
concluded that final deflection of pipes was controlled by the settlement of the soil after
installation. Where installation was controlled, or self-compacting granular material were
used, pipe deflections were consistently low regardless of installation depth and traffic or other loads.
Where StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are to be installed in normal conditions at
depths up to 6m such that the depth to diameter ratio is at least 2, design calculations are
not required. Simply following the recommended installation procedures will ensure thatdeflections are controlled. This is particularly true for installations under roadways,
where the level of compaction required to prevent subsidence of the pavement also
provides a highly supportive structural environment for the pipe.
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 29/42
For unusual conditions, or depths greater than 6 metres, design calculations may be
performed in accordance with AS/NZS 2566.1. The structural design aspects of buried
flexible pipes to be considered are vertical deflection, ring bending strain and buckling.
The following typical values may be used in pipe design:

INSTALLATION
GeneralVinidex StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are twin-wall, corrugated polypropylene pipes for non-pressure applications, and can be installed in non-trafficable and trafficable
areas, including under road pavements.
Our general information for the safe installation of Vinidex StormPRO® andSewerPRO® pipes. For more detailed information refer to AS/NZS 2566.2 "Buried
flexible pipelines: Part 2, Installation". When designed and installed correctly, Vinidex
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® systems will provide continuous service in excess of 50
years.
Flexible pipes
Vinidex StormPRO® and SewerPRO® are flexible pipes. This means that as vertical
loads are applied, the pipe will deflect and take advantage of horizontal soil pressure to provide additional support. After initial compaction and settlement, applied vertical loads
have very little effect on deflection.
Rigid pipes, such as steel reinforced concrete pipes do not deflect, and are designed tocarry all applied vertical loads caused by soil and traffic. The surrounding soil provides
little or no horizontal support to a rigid pipe.
Notwithstanding this, proper placement and compaction of bedding material around rigid
pipes is critical in minimising the load on the pipe.Flexible pipes have some ability to deform without structural damage and provide
designers and installers with a wide range of advantages.
The structural action and design methodology of flexible pipes is well understood. Their use in all buried applications and particularly under road pavements is well established
throughout the world and in Australia. As flexible pipes transfer load through deflection,
loading outside design parameters leads mostly to deformation without structuraldamage. Overloading results in cracking of rigid pipes. Flexible pipes provide a
substantial insurance for operational conditions outside design parameters.
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 32/42
Handling & storage
Being manufactured from tough polypropylene, StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes are
robust and are suitable for use in most site conditions. The pipes are relatively lightweight and can generally be manhandled. Care should always be taken when pipes are
loaded, unloaded, stacked or distributed on sites.When pipes are lifted mechanically, web or rope slings should be used. Pipes should not
be allowed to overhang by more than 1 metre. Transport should not have sharp
projections which could cause damage to pipes. Pipes should not be dragged along theground as this can damage the pipe, causing difficulty with jointing and testing.
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes should be stacked on flat firm ground, which has
been cleared of debris. Pipes should be laid flat on transverse bearers at least 75mm wideat maximum 1.5m centres.
Pipe sockets should be supported so that the ends are free from loading, with sockets ineach layer opposite to the previous layer. Different sizes are best stacked separately. If
this is not practical, then stack with the largest pipes at the base. Framed crates must bestored timber on timber and may go up three crates but should not exceed 3m in height. If
pipes are to be nested for long periods, stacks should not exceed 2m in height.
Rubber rings should be stored away from direct sunlight or weathering. Rubber rings
should never be placed on the ends of pipes which are being stored.
Trench dimensions
Preparation
The trench should not be excavated too
far in advance of pipe laying and should be backfilled as soon as possible.
Minimum Trench Width
The trench width should be as narrow as
is practicable, but wide enough to allowadequate compaction of the haunch zone.
Pipes in Parallel
Where pipes are laid in parallel,
the minimum spacings between
pipelines are given in Table 13 below.
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 33/42

The trench should be excavated deep enough to allow for the specified grade, the required
depth of underlay and the minimum cover.
Allowable deflection
Minimum cover Table 14 reflects industry standards in relation to minimum depth.StormPRO® and SewerPRO® are not limited to these industry norms and designersshould refer to Vinidex engineers if reduced cover is required.

The prime influence on deflection is quality of installation, with depth of cover, pipe
stiffness, and pipe material being of relatively minor importance. An intensive study of the deflection history of pipes installed under different conditions, in service for up to 25years, has resulted in a simple pipe design graph for buried thermoplastics pipes. This
graph predicts the maximum long term pipe deflection at up to 6m depth of cover
(including traffic loading) for pipe of a given stiffness, with moderately compactedgranular bedding material placed as follows:
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 34/42
• Bedding material placed and compacted around the pipe to 87% to 94% dry
density ratio, in layers of maximum 500mm thickness, to a minimum depth over
the pipe of 150mm;
For greater than 6m depth of cover, improved compaction standards are required, and the
bedding requirements are as follows:
• Bedding material placed and compacted around the pipe to a minimum 94% dry
density ratio, in layers of maximum 300mm thickness, to a minimum depth over the pipe of 150mm;
Where other design parameters may be critical, such as high water table, refer AS/NZS
2566.1. Vinidex recommends a design deflection limit of 10% as suggested in ISO
21138.1. For other conditions, such as increased trench widths and compaction standards,contact Vinidex for advice.
Jointing
The following procedure is recommended when joining StormPRO® and SewerPRO®rubber ring jointed pipes:
Step 1
Clean the pipe socket and
spigot end, making sure both
are free of any dirt and grit.
Step 2
Install the rubber ring by
stretching it over the spigot
so that it sits between the
first and second
corrugations from the
spigot end.
Step 3
Ensure rubber ring is
evenly fitted by running
fingers around the full
circumference of the pipe.
8/3/2019 TEVI POLIPROPILENA_StormPRO
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/tevi-polipropilenastormpro 35/42
Step 4
Apply a generous amount of
Vinidex jointing lubricant to
the inside of the socket.
Avoid getting lubricant
under the rubber ring.
Step 5
Insert the leading edge of
the spigot into the
receiving socket. It is
essential that pipes are in a
straight line before
attempting to make the joint.
Step 6
Do not apply jointing force
directly to the socket.
Insert a short piece of pipe
in the socket. The short
piece can be an off-cut,
50mm longer than thesocket, and can be re-used.
Step 7
Apply even jointing force.
Subject to pipe diameter and
local conditions, use a
crowbar to push on a timber
block on the end of the short
pipe.
Step 8
Push home the pipe until
the spigot end comes into
contact with the inner wall
of the socket.
NOTE:
The pipe may be deflected
at the joint after jointing
has been completed. Any
deflection should be limited
to a maximum of 3°.

Cutting of pipes
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes may be cut anywhere along their length as required.The cut should be made in the valley between the corrugations at right angles to the axis
of the pipe using a suitable saw. A chamfer is not required.
Selection of embedment material
Embedment material for StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes should preferably be
granular, free-flowing material. This type of embedment material requires less
compactive effort to provide support for the pipe and minimise soil settlement. The mostcommon embedment material is 5-7mm crushed rock. A typical grading is shown in
Table 15.

The bedding material should be placed and graded to invert level, and compacted as
required. In conditions where the trench bottom is wet, soft or irregular, it may be
necessary to first stabilise, fill and level, and compact the base. Place and compactmaterial in the pipe bedding zone to minimum depth of 75mm beneath the pipe.
In order to ensure uniform support along the pipe barrel, a small indentation should be
excavated in the pipe bedding zone to accommodate the pipe sockets. The pipe sidesupport material should be placed evenly on both sides of the pipeline and compacted
such that relative compaction is consistent with design. Side support material should be
worked under the sides of the pipe to minimise voids and provide maximum pipehaunching, taking care to minimise distortion of the pipe and maintain alignment and
grade. The pipe overlay material should be levelled and compacted in layers, to a
minimum height of 150mm above the crown of the pipe, or as specified.
Backfilling
Backfill should be placed on the pipe overlay and compacted as specified but generally
not in layers in excess of 300mm. Complete the backfilling operation to finished surfacelevel.
Connection to structures
StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes may generally be connected to rigid structures
without the use of short rocker pipes. StormPRO® and SewerPRO® pipes have sufficient
flexibility and strain tolerance to accommodate differential settlement at the interface.The figure below shows a typical entry or exit to a concrete structure.

Where short rocker pipes are specified, either in 300mm or 600mm lengths, these should
be installed as shown below. The most cost effective method is to cut pipe off-cuts to
length on site, and join with plain couplings. Note that sanded shorts are not required asthe corrugated pipe provides an adequate keying action into the concrete.
Above ground installation
For above-ground applications StormPRO® must be adequately supported in order to prevent sagging and excessive distortion. Clamp, saddle, angle, spring or other standard
types of supports and hangers may be used where necessary.Pipe hangers should not be over-tightened. StormPRO® should be supported at regular
intervals as detailed below, always with one support located directly behind the socket.
These support spacings are based on StormPRO® carrying water at 20ºC. Note thatwhere temperatures in excess of 20ºC are likely, the support spacing should be reduced.
Table 17 - Minimum Horizontal Support Spacing
Nominal Diameter (mm) 150 225 300 375 450 600 750 900
Minimum Horizontal Support Spacing (m) 1.25 1.60 1.90 2.15 2.50 2.75 3.00 3.00
The supports should provide a bearing surface of 120º under the base of the pipes and
should be at least two corrugations wide. The pipes should be protected from damage atthe supports with the provision of a membrane of PE, PVC or rubber.

Stormwater connections
The Vinidex PROgrommet® range of stormwater service connections provide 100mm
and 150mm diameter connections to StormPRO® pipe up to 900mm nominal diameter.
The following procedure is recommended when installing the PROgrommet®:
1. Drill hole in StormPRO® pipe using the PROsaw®. Hole centre must be located
in the valley between corrugations.
2. Inspect marking on PROgrommet® to ensure the correct size for selectedStormPRO® pipe.
3. Present PROgrommet® to hole with PROgrommet® flange to the inside and
locating wings to the outside of the StormPRO® pipe.4. Squash the PROgrommet® by hand whereby the two locating wings align in the
centre.5. With the flattened PROgrommet®, form a "C" shape and offer it to the prepared
hole
6. Position locating wings in the valley of the StormPRO® pipe profile.
7. Apply Vinidex Lubricant to the inside diameter of the PROgrommet®
8. Cut lead-in chamfer on pipe which is to be offered to PROgrommet®9. Mark a line on pipe showing the required insertion depth
10. Apply Vinidex Lubricant to outside diameter of pipe.
11. Insert prepared pipe to pre-marked insertion depth
Leakage test
Leakage testing is carried out to identify installation faults and sources of infiltration and
exfiltration in pipelines which are required to be water tight such as sewerage systems.Leakage testing is generally not required for stormwater drains. AS/NZS 2566.2 specifies
detailed procedures for leakage testing using hydrostatic testing, air or vacuum testing or
infiltration testing of non pressure pipelines. These methods are summarised as below. Notwithstanding this, leakage testing should be carried out in accordance with local
authority requirements.

Method 1: Hydrostatic Test
Fill the pipeline with water and pressurise to not less than 20kPa at the highest point of
the section being tested, but not greater than 60kPa at the lowest point of the test section.Maintain the test pressure for at least two hours by adding measured volumes of water if
required. Each joint should be carefully examined visually for leaks, and any defects
should be repaired. The pipeline section is deemed satisfactory if the make-up volume isless that 0.5L per hour per metre length per metre diameter. After any repairs, the
pipeline should be re-tested.
Method 2: Air Test
Introduce air slowly by suitable means until a pressure of 25kPa is obtained. Maintain for
a period of at least 3 minutes. If no leaks are observed after 3 minutes, shut off the air
supply. If the pressure of air contained in the pipes under test does not fall below 18kPawithin the time period specified in Table 17 below, the pipeline shall be considered
satisfactory. If, however, the pressure is not maintained within the specified limits,
reintroduce the air and examine the pipeline for leaks by pouring a concentrated solutionof soft soap and water over the joints and fittings. Identify and repair any leaks. After anyrepairs, the pipeline should be re-tested.
Method 3: Vacuum Test
Apply a vacuum until a negative pressure of 25kPa is obtained. Maintain for a period of
at least 3 minutes. If no leaks are observed after 3 minutes, isolate the test section from
the vacuum pump. Monitor the pressure for the time specified in Table 17. If the vacuum
does not drop below 18kPa within the specified time period, the pipeline shall beconsidered satisfactory. Where the pipeline section fails the test, re-apply the vacuum and
examine the pipeline for leaks. Identify and repair any leaks. After any repairs, the pipeline should be re-tested.
Method 4: Infiltration Test
Where there is a free standing water table at a height of at least 1.5m above the test
section, an infiltration test can be carried out. Observe the pipe for 24 hours. Whereinfiltration is detected, the leak should be identified and repaired.

Cut Ins & repairs
Cut-Ins
To cut into an existing buried StormPRO® or SewerPRO® pipeline and install a
socketed junction or other socketed fitting, the following procedure should be adopted:
1. Expose the existing pipe and cut out a length equal to the effective length of the
fitting, plus approximately 600mm.
2. Connect 300mm long short pipes to the junction sockets and fit rubber rings to thespigot ends of the short pipes.
3. Fit slip couplings to the cut ends of the existing pipe and install junction.
Repairs
When selecting the required repair method, it is necessary to differentiate between minor and more extensive damage. Minor or localised damage should be limited to small holes
in the pipe. In these situations, bolt tensioned wrap-around stainless steel repair fittings
can be used. It is important to note that this type of fitting has no positive stop and mustonly be tightened in accordance with the manufacturers' torque settings. Damage caused
by excavation or other machinery will inevitably affect the structural integrity of the pipe
and should be cut out and replaced using slip couplings.
