Weholite, what is it?

Weholite is a structured wall pipe or structural panel made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE). With Weholite, raw material properties have been combined with advanced production technology to create a lightweight engineered solution with superior loading capacity that is chemically inert and provides a 120-year design life.

This is Weholite

The technology of Weholite was developed in 1983 and since then it has provided great value to the construction industry. You can choose between customized and holistic designs or standard product solutions.

With Weholite, raw material properties have been combined with advanced production technology to create a lightweight engineered solution with superior loading capacity that is chemically inert and provides a 100-year plus design life. This means that designers, owners and operators can be confident that Weholite HDPE sewer systems will have an in-service life of at least 100 years when materials, products and installation practices meet the appropriate requirements.

In the design of water distribution systems, Weholite HDPE structured wall pipes represent an interesting alternative because of their excellent physical, hydraulic and mechanical properties. Manufactured from corrosion-resistant HDPE, Weholite pipes behave differently to traditional steel, ductile iron, concrete and other pipe systems

With the largest range of diameters and the most sophisticated fabrication facilities in East Africa, the benefits of using Weholite are evident and are in line with East African Governments Infrastructure Strategies.

Weholite is manufactured and certificated to meet the material and performance requirements of ISO 21138 (part 1&2) and EN 13476 (part 1&2), Plastic Piping Systems for Non-Pressure Underground Drainage and Sewerage.

Our philosophy of designing in confidence is equalled by our ability to partner with end users and provide unrivalled design capability. This extends to modelling of product behaviour during installation and when in service, identifying and reducing residual risks and fully collaborating with project stake holders in the important aspects of structural design.

We offer confidence and experience in the form of fully qualified engineers, the ability to design to industry standards for different sectors, understanding of water authority and municipality needs; but by far the most important quality of this whole company is the aptitude to listen.

The values of our engineering design people simply reflect the philosophy of the business; that is, to provide satisfaction by showing passion, creativity, fairness and respect. Innovative design is about trust. This we can offer you in abundance.
