Corrugated Polypropylene Pipe Katy, Texas

TDR Pipe supplied TDR PRO® corrugated polypropylene pipe in Katy, Texas for the storm drainage system at Anniston, a master-planned residential community. TDR provided 24-inch through 60-inch pipe totaling 227,200 linear feet—one of the largest TDR PRO® residential drainage installations in the region.

Project overview

Anniston is a master-planned residential development within Houston’s westward growth corridor, designed for long-term occupancy. As one of the fast-growing communities around Katy, it required a stormwater system that could handle a very large drainage network reliably across years of phased construction and home occupancy. From sizing through delivery, TDR Pipe supported the project so the drainage infrastructure could keep pace with the scale of the build.

Site and Hydrologic Constraints

The site sits in a high-rainfall region with the low natural slopes typical of Katy, Texas. Runoff is generated primarily by rooftops, driveways, and internal residential streets. Surface grading alone could not manage peak flows without risking ponding or temporary loss of roadway function during storm events. The drainage system therefore had to move large volumes of water efficiently on minimal grades, while standing up to residential traffic and shallow cover over a very extensive network.

The TDR PRO® Solution

TDR PRO® corrugated polypropylene pipe Katy, ranging from 24 to 60 inches in diameter, was selected based on drainage area, street layout, and hydraulic requirements. The smooth interior ensures the system performs efficiently under the low slopes typical of residential developments, while the reinforced corrugated exterior meets long-term durability and load expectations.

Pipe was installed using open-trench methods with engineered bedding and controlled backfill beneath residential streets and drainage easements. Because corrugated polypropylene pipe is lightweight, crews handled and placed it faster—often with reduced equipment needs—which mattered greatly across a 227,200-linear-foot network built in phases. TDR Pipe Customer Service optimized deliveries to keep productivity and schedule on track throughout the build.

Results and Performance

The completed system effectively conveys runoff during storm events, eliminating surface ponding on streets and residential lots. Roads remain passable, and drainage performance stays consistent as neighborhoods transition from construction to occupancy. With a reliable system in place and ongoing support from TDR Pipe, the owner benefits from dependable hydraulic performance and reduced long-term maintenance concerns—an important advantage for a community of this scale.
