Water Intake Systems

Oxford Plastics manufactures water intakes using hdpe pipe. Water intakes include any place, location or point at which fresh water from a body of water enters a pipe or conduit and is transported into a storage facility. This typically involves taking water from a reservoir, a dugout, lake, ocean, river or dam, and pumping it into a treatment facility or pumping station. Components of a typical water intake system include 1) a float, 2) an intake, and 3) intake pipe. We offer a complete range of hdpe pipe for new water intakes whether it be for irrigation using a dugout, municipal water supply from a lake or water supply for a power plant using a river. Using hdpe pipe for your water intakes will not only eliminate expensive maintenance, but it will reduce water contamination and harmful waste pollution.

Why Hdpe Pipe?
The combination of lightweight flexibility and leak free joints allow for unique and cost effective installation of a water intake system. The flexibility of polyethylene pipe allows you to install a water intake system utilizing the latest in pipe bursting, sliplining and directional drilling technologies. And because hdpe pipe is lighter than water, floating water intakes can be used for dugouts where trenching is not feasible. (this often requires the use of something heavy to keep the pipe floating to the top and freezing). Hdpe pipe is also the only logical solution when old water intake lines need to be replaced. Hdpe pipe is often chosen due to its flexibility over rough terrain and its butt fused, leak-proof joints, virtually eliminate future maintenance.

If you are looking for a new and cost effective way to replace deteriorating water inakes or installing a new system, consider the benefits of a leak free water intakes. Among other things, our hdpe pipe is:

flexible
durable
corrosion resistant
light weight
leak tight
and features high flow rates

Water Inake Applications:
Hdpe pipe has repeatedly demonstrated that it has a projected service life of well over 70 years. Oxford Plastics manufactures water intakes and outfalls for both the supply of water and the disposal of waste water. Those applications include irrigation water from dugouts, potable water supply for main water intakes, water supply systems from rivers and lakes, and water supply for power plants from sea water, deep ocean water, and water treatment plants.
