This new guideline provides a clear, practical framework for engineers designing modern plastic pipeline systems—supporting proven performance in demanding road and rail infrastructure.
POP209 outlines key structural design principles, particularly the interaction between the pipe and surrounding soil, and distinguishes the behaviour of flexible pipes from rigid systems.
By aligning with established standards such as AS/NZS 2566.1 and incorporating validated approaches like the graphical design method, POP209 promotes consistent, reliable design practices and supports the long-term performance of non-pressure buried pipelines.
