KUSTOMFLO™ Pipes: A Smart Alternative to Concrete Stormwater Systems
Aging infrastructure and increasing climate pressures have exposed the limitations of traditional concrete in stormwater management. Fortunately, KUSTOMFLO™ pipes, available through Devron Sales Ltd., provide a flexible, durable, and cost-effective alternative that meets today’s infrastructure needs.
Why Choose KUSTOMFLO™ Over Concrete Pipes?
Concrete pipes are heavy, prone to cracking, and expensive to maintain. KUSTOMFLO™ pipes, by contrast, are engineered from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene, offering superior resistance to corrosion and ground movement.
Because of these properties, KUSTOMFLO™ is the ideal solution for:
- Stormwater drainage relining
- Sanitary sewer rehabilitation
- Culvert upgrades in roads and parks
- Watercourse piping under fluctuating flow conditions

The Advantages of KUSTOMFLO™ for Stormwater Management
KUSTOMFLO™ pipes are optimized for hydraulic performance. Their smooth interior walls, for instance, reduce flow resistance, improving capacity and minimizing the chance of blockages.
In addition, they offer:
- 5.7-meter (18.7 ft) lengths for fewer joints and faster installation
- Manufacturing capability up to 5000mm in diameter—much larger than traditional HDPE options
- Full compliance with ASTM F894, CAN/CSA S6, AASHTO, and COOPER load ratings
- A ring stiffness class of RSC250 for superior structural performance
As a result, KUSTOMFLO™ is the ideal choice for large-diameter relining projects—like our successful upgrade at Niagara Parks.
Seamless Integration with Existing Concrete Structures
In many relining projects, engineers must connect new piping to existing concrete walls or chambers. Therefore, two factors become essential: maintaining a secure joint and managing differential settlement.
KUSTOMFLO™ addresses both with design features that accommodate skewed ends and support restrained joints. Installers can use thread rods, washers, and nuts—or weld the joint for added strength.
You can choose from a variety of connection types:
- Soil-tight couplers
- Watertight couplers (15 psi)
- Electrofusion joints (30 psi, upon request)
- Flanged joints (150 psi, upon request)
This flexibility ensures that KUSTOMFLO™ connects smoothly with legacy infrastructure.
Reduce Installation Costs and Labor Requirements
Concrete pipes demand heavy machinery and specialized crews. In contrast, KUSTOMFLO™ pipes can be cut using a simple saw, and handled with lightweight equipment. As a result, projects can be completed more quickly, safely, and cost-effectively.
This makes a major difference for municipalities and contractors working on tight budgets. For more tips, check out this Relining Guide.
Replace Concrete Systems with KUSTOMFLO™
Stormwater infrastructure needs are evolving. While concrete has served its purpose for decades, modern systems require flexibility, reliability, and scalability. KUSTOMFLO™ pipes deliver all three, along with the strength to meet today’s engineering standards.
