Corrugated Polypropylene Pipe Laredo — North Laredo Industrial Park

TDR Pipe supplied TDR PRO® corrugated polypropylene pipe in Laredo, Texas for the stormwater drainage system at North Laredo Industrial Park, a 1,600-acre logistics development tied to cross-border trade. TDR provided 24-inch through 48-inch pipe totaling 3,960 linear feet as part of a park-wide conveyance network.

Project overview

North Laredo Industrial Park spans more than 1,600 acres with direct access to Interstate 35, planned for large-format logistics, warehousing, and distribution tied to cross-border trade. The park is structured for phased industrial pad development while maintaining continuous heavy truck operations. At this scale, and with freight moving day and night, drainage cannot interrupt operations—it has to function before, during, and after each phase of development, protecting truck routes and access corridors without slowing the flow of goods.

The Challenge: Industrial Runoff at Scale

Flat terrain combined with expansive paved yards and truck corridors creates rapid lateral runoff if not captured early. Large industrial pads release high runoff volumes during storm events, requiring drainage that remains functional through every phase of the buildout. The system also had to perform beneath heavy pavement and rail-adjacent areas, where alignment and joint integrity are critical and post-installation correction is impractical.

The TDR PRO® Corrugated Polypropylene Pipe Solution

Stormwater was designed as a park-wide conveyance network, not as individual parcel systems. Corrugated polypropylene TDR PRO® pipe was selected as the primary underground conveyance material to move runoff away from truck routes, access roads, and utility corridors without disrupting operations. The configuration uses smaller laterals to capture localized surface flow and larger mains to transport combined industrial runoff. Smooth interior profiles support hydraulic performance at shallow slopes, while gasketed joints maintain alignment and limit infiltration beneath heavy pavement and rail-adjacent areas.

Installation Sequencing

Primary drainage corridors were installed early in the development sequence, coordinated with grading and utilities ahead of heavy pavement. This stabilized subgrade conditions and ensured each industrial pad was delivered with fully operational stormwater infrastructure. Building the drainage backbone first meant tenants could occupy pads on a site that already drained reliably.

Operational Outcome

During rainfall events, runoff was consistently conveyed away from truck routes, staging areas, and access corridors. Freight movement remained uninterrupted, and the drainage system functions as a permanent backbone supporting high-frequency industrial use and long-term expansion across the 1,600-acre park.

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 industrial, commercial, and infrastructure drainage projects across Texas.
