TERAKAN pipe combines the latest achievements in production of plastic materials and tried-and-tested manufacturing technology. TERAKAN pipe structure is double layered with profiled exterior and smooth inner surface, resembling it's predecessor, the MAPIKAN pipe.
TERAKAN pipes are constructed entirely PP-B materials (polypropylene blockcopolymer) This material has been developed specifically for non-pressure pipes with high ring stiffness and is the latest trend in construction of sewage and drainage pipes.
Advantages of TERAKAN pipe systems
- durability - life expectancy over 100 years
- compliance with EN standards - SIST EN 13476-3
- simple and safe handling and installation
- superb hydraulic properties
- superb chemical durability
- superb mechanical properties over wide temperature range - good shock resistance at low temperatures, great at high temperatures
- high temperature durability - resistant to temperature damage up to 600C, in short bursts even up to 900C
- highly abrasion resistant - abrasive particles cause reduced wear-and-tear
- reduced weight of the pipe equates to easier and safer handling and installation
- environmentally friendly solution - used material is 100% recyclable, absolute water-tightness of entire system prevents any damage to the environment
- complete solution - all system elements (pipes, fittings, shafts) are made of identical material
- flexibility during treatment and joining - all classic joining, treatment and welding methods apply
- low overall system costs
- pipe flexibility - can handle large deformations without structural damage, ground movement also tolerated

When is it recommendable to use TERAKAN SN 16 kN/m2?
In city centres:
- because of large traffic and other stresses
- because they offer maximum safety to design engineers, project managers and investors alike
- because it is difficult to ensure optimal installation conditions, due to number of pre-existing installations
- because the cost of potential repairs greatly outweighs initial investment costs
Small coverage:
- in combination with traffic and other stresses
- for transverse connections on highways
Large coverage:
- landfill and dams, where coverage exceeds 30m
- at high coverage in combination with ground water and traffic encumbrance
Everywhere, where the combination of stress, ground conditions and installation conditions demands it.
Transportation and installation procedures are much simpler then with similar competing products.
