SuperSleve was favourably appraised by the Water Services Association of Australia (WSAA) in August 1998, (Refer to appraisal No. PA98/8)
• The SuperSleve Piping system has also received Standards Mark license IP00088 MP52 spec 418 under the National Plumbing and Drainage Product Scheme which is audited by SAI Global, a division of Standards Australia.
• SuperSleve has been supplied into the Brisbane Water area since 1994 and into Sydney Water and Melbourne Water areas since 1997. It is fully approved by these three major Authorities along with many others throughout Australia and New Zealand
SuperSleve pipes have gained widespread acceptance and praise from both Contractors and Water Authorities because of their "user-friendly" features as Almost 40% lighter than traditional Vitrified Clay Pipes providing savings with on-site handling costs.
• Supplied in long lengths: 150mm are 1.75 metres and 225mm & 300mm are 2.00 metres.
• Collarless, utilizing polypropylene couplings for jointing – which means no more burst collars.
• Extremely low porosity, which means, unlike old V.C. pipes, they do not create a damp environment to which tree roots are attracted. The ultra-smooth surface and the rubber-ring interface pressures also contribute to preventing root intrusion.
• Can be cut and joined at any length thus negating the need for expensive shorts and virtually eliminating wastage.
• Reduced costs associated with the need for two-thirds less imported backfill.
• Ovality test requirements are not required – not to mention the costs and time associated with an ovality failure.
