Using quality materials is integral to any commercial or industrial construction as one small flaw can potentially compromise structural integrity and disrupt operational continuity. Plastic pipe designer and manufacturer Sinopipe knows this well. The company is promoting the widespread adoption of plastic pipes for infrastructure development in Asia as they are more durable and cost-effective.

"We can provide products with better quality at a better cost," says Dr Pu Weidong, Sinopipe executive director and CEO.

Corrosion-resistant, easier to transport, simple to install - these are only some of the advantages that plastic pipes have over traditional concrete and metal pipes. Aiming to push the boundaries of plastic pipes further, Sinopipe invests in research and development, exploring the use of new plastic materials for different pipe applications.

Sinopipe has received technical patents for pipe innovations such as the scratch-resistant steel mesh reinforced polyethylene pipe and high-density polyethylene pipe flange connections.
