Pipes should have been manufactured in conformity with the latest standards by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) or ASTM International.
- Perforated pipes should be continuously perforated, smooth interior HDPE (or equivalent material) with a minimum inside diameter of 100 mm.
- Smooth interior facilitates inspection and maintenance activities; internal corrugations can cause cameras or hydrojetting apparatus to become snagged.
- Where freezing is a concern, horizontal underdrain pipes should be over-sized to a minimum 200 mm diameter.
- Perforations should be made on all sides of the pipe and provide a ≥ 1 m2 of open area per linear meter of pipe.
- A perforated pipe with many rectangular slots has better drainage characteristics than a pipe with similar open area provided by fewer circular holes [1].
- Non-perforated pipes should be used for conveyance to and away from the facility, including overflow.
