Product
Corrugated Pipe Portfolio
ADS core HDPE and PP corrugated pipes (N‑12/N‑20) are engineered for stormwater, sanitary sewer and drainage, available in a broad diameter range and meeting DOT, AASHTO and ASTM performance standards including AASHTO H‑20 load ratings. Their smooth interior and high-density resins offer superior corrosion resistance and longer service life versus concrete and metal. ADS integrates post-industrial recycled resin without compromising structural strength.
Stormwater Systems & Structures
ADS 4P stormwater systems include inlet/outlet structures, fittings, manholes, Nyloplast connections, leaching systems and underground detention/retention chambers designed for modular site-specific detention, infiltration and conveyance. Modularity allows scalable layouts to meet project-specific storage and infiltration targets while maximizing hydraulic efficiency and simplifying installation. Products are engineered for ease of install and cross-family compatibility, and carry ICC-ES and ASTM third-party testing and code approvals through 2025.
Geosynthetics & Accessories
Geosynthetics & Accessories combines geotextiles, erosion control mats, silt fences and connectors into end-to-end solutions, supporting soil stability, filtration and system integrity for stormwater and slope projects. The global geosynthetics market was valued at about USD 10.5 billion in 2023, underscoring rising demand for integrated kits. A broad SKU portfolio streamlines procurement, reducing multi-vendor complexity and positioning ADS as a one-stop water management toolkit.
