Useful information about durable plastic chambers and pipes made of PP.

At least 100 years certified service life

 

Systems such as AWADUKT PP made of 100% high-quality polypropylene score high marks thanks to their unbeatable durability. Once laid, they give 100 years of peace of mind. But that's not all. A long life cycle also enables long amortisation periods and therefore low depreciation costs.

The durable REHAU solution

REHAU is the first provider of a complete sewer network solution which the LGA Nuremberg has confirmed to have a 100-year service life.

100-year service life in the LGA report

 

AWADUKT pipes remain intact for 100 years without limitations. TÜV Rheinland (Technical Inspection Agency) and the LGA (Bavarian State Trade Agency) Nuremberg have confirmed this. The high-quality, unfilled polypropylene material is a guarantee of durability. Together with the high minimum wall thickness in accordance with DIN EN 1852, this forms the basis for a unique assessment: according to the Landesgewerbeanstalt (LGA) Nuremberg, the AWADUKT PP SN10/16 high-load sewer pipe systems from REHAU achieve a service life of at least 100 years. The same applies to AWASCHACHT PP DN 1000. The LGA report is based, among other things, on studies of the long-term behaviour of the high-quality polypropylene, as well as extensive computational tests of the embedded chamber using the so-called finite element method (FEM), in which the geometry of the chamber was precisely recorded, and its strength calculated in detail. The future-proof chamber has a modular design and consists of an injection-moulded cone, chamber ring and base. As the components are made entirely of unfilled polypropylene, the system is extremely robust, even at low installation temperatures. It is also characterised by high chemical resistance.

Profitability and life cycle costs in new procurement legislation

 

AGI_1056321654_CL - 83254

 

With the 2016 amendment to public procurement law, the economic efficiency of investments was clearly defined by law for the first time: the contract should be awarded to the tender with the best price-performance ratio. This puts quality, sustainability and innovation at the centre of attention. They are included in the so-called life cycle costs: from raw material extraction to disposal. For example, sustainable products from energy-efficient production can be rewarded with a higher score in the award evaluation. This means that it is no longer the cheapest offer that wins the race. The contract is awarded to the product that offers the best price-performance ratio over the entire life cycle – from completion to operation and demolition.
