Applications
Spirolite® HDPE for Culverts, Canals and Ditches
Large-diameter Spirolite® HDPE pipe delivers lightweight, corrosion-resistant solutions for culverts, canal rehabilitation and open ditch enclosures.
Spirolite® HDPE pipe is a proven alternative to concrete, corrugated metal, and fiberglass for culvert rehabilitation, canal lining and ditch enclosure projects. Designed for gravity and low-pressure applications, Spirolite's lightweight, corrosion-proof profile-wall construction makes it easier to handle, faster to install and longer lasting than traditional materials. Manufactured in diameters up to 120” or larger, and available with bell and spigot or welded joints, Spirolite enables trenchless or open cut installation to modernize failing infrastructure and improve water management systems.
Spirolite Culvert and Canal Applications
- Culvert replacement and rehabilitation
- Irrigation canal linings
- Road and rail crossing drainage
- Open ditch enclosures
- Agricultural and municipal water conveyance
- Stormwater diversion and collection
Why Choose Spirolite Culverts and Canals?
Spirolite HDPE stands up to sediment, chemicals, and abrasion better than CMP or concrete.
Reduces the amount of cranes, heavy equipment and specialized labor.
Smooth interior walls maintain hydraulic efficiency over time without clogging or scaling.
Built to project specs—available with fittings, manholes, and access risers as needed.
Standard 20-foot sections simplify slip-lining or open trench work.
Installed across North America to improve drainage, water storage, and conveyance.
Project Spotlight: Canal Enclosure Project
Spirolite pipe was selected to enclose an aging irrigation canal, providing a fully enclosed, low-maintenance conveyance system that reduced seepage losses and protected water quality.
