10 WSAA Product Appraisal Report No PA PACKAGING AND TRANSPORTATION Damos advises that transport, handling and storage as set out in AS/NZS 2033 is recommended. Damos has documented packaging and delivery procedures for transporting pipes of various sizes from their plants. Pipe is packaged using timber bases and scalloped slats between each row, as well as strapping to minimise movement during transport. Agencies should ensure pipe is inspected when delivered to site to see that there has been no transport damage caused by movement and abrasion or serious distortion caused by excessive tightening of holding straps. Pipes are delivered by road transport and delivered directly to site, unless advised otherwise by customers. The Plastics Industry Pipe Association also provides technical guidelines for Packaging, Handling and storage of Polyethylene pipe and fittings in POP005 Packaging, Handling, and Storage of Polyethylene Pipes and Fittings. Copies of these documents can be downloaded from the PIPA website 10 PRODUCT WARRANTY The products are covered by the normal commercial and legal requirements of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth), which covers manufacture to the relevant standard. Complete details of warranty conditions are included in Damos Terms and Conditions of Sale. 11 WATER AGENCY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT OR FIELD TESTING REPORT At the time of writing there is no field report available on the installation of Damos PE pipes. However, PE pipe is a common use pipe material and it is expected that little would be learned from a field test report. Water Corporation (Western Australia) has issued an approval certificate for the range of Damos PE 100 pipe for PN 12.5, PN 16 and PN 20 in sizes from DN 25 to DN LIFE EXPECTANCY Based on the documented conformance to the nominated standards and the industry material operational experience, PE pipe has been rated A Life expectancy in excess of 100 years before major rehabilitation. This rating is only a general guide to life expectancy and may increase or decrease as a result of the quality of installation, system operating conditions, operating environment and other geographical and site specific factors. Using modern rehabilitation techniques, pipeline systems can be successfully maintained and operated indefinitely provided the pipe and other structures do not collapse. 13 DISCLAIMER This Product Appraisal Report (Report) is issued by the Water Services Association of Australia Limited on the understanding that: This Report applies to the product(s) as submitted.
