Megapipes Solutions manufacture Weholite pipes which are of large diameter that have proven to be a sustainable solution with a lifespan of over 100 years and are suitable for municipal and industrial applications. According to experts, Weholite pipe does not rot, rust or corrode due to any chemical or electrical reaction in the soil.
Megapipes states that he urgent requirement for better systems, that would be able to cope with larger volumes of waste and stormwater, in fast-growing urban environments; led the firm to study new large diameter pipe technology, already widely used with big success in other parts of the world. Megapipes Solutions Ltd made the visionary decision to opt for Weholite HDPE structured wall pipes, manholes, chambers and tanks, a technology that has gained traction in Kenya.
