Overview of WSAA

The Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) is the peak industry body representing

the urban water industry. Our members provide water and sewerage services to over 20

million customers in Australia and New Zealand and many of Australia's largest industrial

and commercial enterprises.

Based around our vision of 'customer driven, enriching life', WSAA facilitates collaboration,

knowledge sharing, networking and cooperation within the urban water industry. We are

proud of the collegiate attitude of our members which has led to industry-wide approaches

to national water issues.

WSAA can demonstrate success in the standardisation of industry performance monitoring

and benchmarking, as well as many research outcomes of national significance. The WSAA

Executive retains strong links with policy makers and legislative bodies and their influencers,

to monitor emerging issues of importance to the urban water industry.

WSAA was formed in 1995 as a non-profit organisation to foster the exchange of information

between industry, government and the community, and to promote sustainable water

resource management.

The urban water industry is commited to anchoring its services to customers' values, and to

enrich communities where water services have broad economic, environmental and social

values. In line with this our main activities focus on four areas:

1. influencing national and state policies on the provision of urban water services and

sustainable water resource management

2. promoting debate on environmentally sustainable development and management of

water resources and the community health requirements of public water supplies

3. improving industry performance and establishing benchmarks and industry leading

practices for water service processes; and

4. fostering the exchange of information on education, training, research, water and

wastewater management and treatment and other matters of common interest.

1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Iplex Pipelines, a long established Australian pipe and fittings manufacturing company, has

been producing PVC-U products for sewer and sanitary drains for over 40 years.

Iplex has manufacturing sites located around Australia, producing drainage waste and vent

(DWV) pipes at Osborne Park, W.A., Reservoir, Vic., Chipping Norton, N.S.W. and

StandardsMark certification. Additionally a number of NATA endorsed test reports and a

Technical Report have been submitted confirming compliance with particular aspects of the

product Standard. The NATA endorsed test reports, listed in Appendix D have been reviewed

and confirm the products tested comply with the dimensional, softening point, pipe stiffness

and joint performance etc. as specified in AS/NZS 1260. In addition, the product specification

sheets have been examined and compliance with the effective pipe length and effective

sealing length are in accordance with the Standard.

Iplex has also provided a Technical Report as described in Appendix D comparing foam core

sandwich construction (DRME150C), solid core sandwich construction (DREH150C) and

solid wall DWV pipes (DREHS150C), all of which were DN150 and SN8. The report showed

each construction met the Standard requirements for pipe stiffness, ring flexibility, impact

resistance and in the case of sandwich construction pipes, exceeded the minimum allowable

thickness of the inner layer.

The products are produced in accordance with the Best Environmental Practice PVC

requirements given in AS/NZS 1260 Appendix C as confirmed by ApprovalMark International

11 WATER AGENCY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT OR FIELD TESTING

REPORT

PVC DWV pipes and fittings, manufactured to AS/NZS1260, are widely used by the water

industry and field testing is not considered necessary.

12 DISCUSSION

The period over which PVC-U non-pressure pipes have been used in Australia is indicated

by the first edition of AS 1260 being published in 1974 although a predecessor, AS K138,

was published in 1967. Originally all PVC-U DWV pipes across the full diameter range were

produced to specified minimum wall thicknesses. In 1996 this changed to a performance


COPYRIGHT

requirement, namely pipe stiffness. In accordance with AS/NZS 1260 Iplex DWV pipes

greater than DN100 are produced as solid wall, solid core sandwich construct ion or foam

core sandwich construction. According to AS/NZS 1260, all three DWV pipe constructions

have to meet the same performance requirements except that reversion applies only to plain

wall pipes. Additionally, all sandwich construction pipes are required to have minimum inside

wall thickness according to Table 4.3 of AS/NZS 1260. The minimum values of the inside

wall thicknesses in AS/NZS 1260 are approximately 50% greater than those required in the

European Standard EN 4435 Plastics piping systems for non-pressure underground

drainage and sewerage — Unplasticized poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC-U).
