Corrugated Polypropylene Pipe Cleveland — Faulkner Ridge, TX

TDR Pipe supplied TDR PRO® corrugated polypropylene pipe in Cleveland, Texas for the storm drainage system at Faulkner Ridge, a master-planned residential community spanning roughly 400 acres. TDR provided 18-inch through 60-inch pipe totaling 4,040 linear feet as part of a ground-up, phased stormwater strategy.

Project overview

Faulkner Ridge is a master-planned residential development spanning approximately 400 acres, approved as a general development plan and structured across five construction phases. Anchored by recreational amenities and designed to support long-term residential growth northeast of Houston, the project required drainage infrastructure that could scale phase by phase. From the start, stormwater was treated as foundational—built to carry the community from its first phase through full buildout without downstream impacts.

The Challenge: A Ground-Up Stormwater Strategy
The site includes shallow slopes, mixed drainage patterns, and multiple contributing sub-basins. With no existing downstream framework dictating runoff behavior, the project required a ground-up stormwater strategy capable of managing phased increases in impervious cover without creating localized or downstream impacts. The system had to perform on low slopes, adapt across large sections, and satisfy county standards while the community grew over five phases.

The TDR PRO® Corrugated Polypropylene Pipe Solution
Stormwater was managed using a distributed underground conveyance system designed to function across phased buildout conditions. Corrugated polypropylene TDR PRO® pipe was selected as a core conveyance material to allow alignment flexibility across large sections while maintaining consistent hydraulic performance under residential roadway loads. The network used smaller diameters for localized neighborhood drainage and larger conveyance lines to transport combined flows toward detention facilities. Smooth interior profiles supported performance under low-slope conditions, while gasketed joints maintained continuity across long pipe runs consistent with county standards.

Phased Installation
Primary stormwater infrastructure was installed early in each phase, coordinated with grading and roadway preparation. This ensured every section had functional drainage before vertical construction, reduced erosion exposure during rain events, and minimized rework as the project expanded. Building drainage first in each phase turned stormwater from a recurring risk into a stable foundation for the rest of the work.

Performance Outcome and Project Value
During early grading and site work, runoff was effectively conveyed away from future streets and home sites without surface ponding or instability, establishing a reliable foundation for continued development while reducing long-term maintenance risk. County approval reflected confidence in the infrastructure strategy. For the developer, early and consistent stormwater performance supports predictable phasing, protects capital investment, and enables delivery of a durable residential community at regional scale.

About TDR PRO® Corrugated Polypropylene Pipe
TDR PRO® is a dual-wall corrugated polypropylene (PP) pipe engineered for gravity-flow stormwater drainage. It combines a smooth interior liner for hydraulic efficiency with a reinforced, annular corrugated exterior and a co-extruded integrated bell for watertight joints. Available in 12-inch through 60-inch diameters, TDR PRO® meets ASTM F2881 Class I and AASHTO M330 Type S, with watertight joints tested per ASTM D3212—making it well suited to residential, commercial, and infrastructure drainage projects across Texas.
