In North China, a major national construction project—the Taiyuan Wusuxu International Airport Expansion (Phase 3)—will soon be open for operation!
As the only international airport in Shanxi Province, it is also China's first regional hub airport designed for zero-carbon operation.
As a key "sky gateway," this airport will soon handle 40 million passengers and 300,000 tons of cargo every year.
For this big project, ERA supplied high-quality HDPE Water Pipes to build the airport's main water supply system. This system supplies daily water to the passenger terminals, flight areas, living areas, and support facilities.
Because North China has very cold winters and complex soil, the airport needed pipes that are cold-resistant, flexible, and long-lasting. Here is why ERA HDPE pipes were chosen：
In winter, temperatures in Taiyuan can drop below -20°C (-4°F). Standard pipes can easily become brittle, crack, and leak in cold weather.
ERA HDPE water pipes are made with high-quality raw materials that stay tough even in extreme cold. They can withstand frozen ground without cracking, keeping the water flowing safely all winter long.
The soil around large airports can settle unevenly over time, which puts heavy pressure on underground pipes and can cause them to break.
ERA HDPE pipes have an elongation at break of over 350%. This means they are extremely flexible and can bend with ground movement without breaking or leaking at the joints.
Airports are built for long-term use, so they need pipes with low maintenance costs.
ERA HDPE pipes do not rust, scale, or age easily. They have a design service life of over 50 years, which greatly reduces long-term maintenance costs for the airport.
Proven Performance in Major Airports Across China
Taiyuan Airport is just one of many major aviation projects using ERA pipes. ERA HDPE pipes have already been installed in key airports across China：
Beijing Daxing International Airport：ERA HDPE pipes protect the water supply for one of China's newest and largest mega-airports.
Shanghai Pudong International Airport：Thanks to their corrosion resistance and long life, ERA pipes help keep this East China hub running smoothly every day.
Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport：ERA HDPE supply and drainage pipes serve as the hidden "water veins" for the terminal buildings.
Lishui Airport：Built on a challenging high-mountain slope, this airport relies on ERA HDPE pipes for their flexibility and resistance to ground movement.
Anhui Bengbu Tenghu Airport：ERA HDPE pipes supply safe water to the passenger terminal, office buildings, and control tower.
Connecting Cities, Building a Better World
From North China to East China, airports with different environments choose ERA. This shows that ERA HDPE pipes can meet the needs of airport projects of any size.
An airport needs a constant supply of water to run smoothly, and a city needs a safe pipe network to grow. ERA products do not just serve airports, high-speed railways, and subways—they also support city water supply, wastewater treatment, and industrial park construction.
Making flow worry-free, making the world a better place.
ERA is proud to provide reliable piping solutions for modern infrastructure worldwide!
