Adduction Pipe for treatment plant. A KUSTOMFLO Pipe project.
- PRODUCTS : KUSTOMFLO
- REALIZATION : 31/10/2022
The context
The Aqueduc intermunicipal du Bas-Richelieu (AIBR) project emerged due to the necessity of replacing an outdated adduction pipe used to supply a drinking water plant.
To ensure the distribution of drinking water, the project was designed to establish a new, robust infrastructure capable of meeting the current and future needs of the Bas-Richelieu region.

The solution
The proposed solution for the Aqueduc intermunicipal du Bas-Richelieu (AIBR) project involved replacing the outdated pipe with a one-meter-diameter KustomFlo pipe.
This choice was intended to ensure a more efficient infrastructure for the supply of drinking water.
Les Entreprises Michaudville led the project, in collaboration with Soleno Service to fuse the joints by extrusion to ensure the watertightness of the KustomFlo pipe. The project was successfully executed through the creative and sustainable engineering solutions provided by WSP.
The project will supply drinking water to several cities in the Bas-Richelieu region.

How HDPE is Ready to Meet the Challenges of Aging Water Management Infrastructures Across North America
While High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) structured wall pipes are not new to the infrastructure industry of today, the material is not widely adopted for large diameter applications, despite certain distinct advantages over other materials. But as infrastructure systems around the world age, the need for sustainable and cost-effective solutions is becoming increasingly critical.
