Evacuation Time

There are many things about life that we take for granted and that we cannot imagine the flow of life without them. In fact, our eyes would be wide open if we knew how difficult things people were dealing with a few centuries ago! Even if we don't think about it or need to think about it, the most important of them is sewage systems. Waste disposal has never been easier than it is today. So what is the reason behind this convenience today?

In populated areas, pollution is more dangerous than ever. In ancient times there were also very crowded cities and the problems related to hygiene were far beyond what we can think of today. While there were individual sewer systems for small structures, there was no general sewer system; The first public sewer system was built in 600 BC by order of the Roman King Lucius Tarquinius Priscus. The wastes of public toilets, baths and public buildings were discharged into the Tiber River through this sewer. However, it was difficult to say that these structures, which require serious engineering, were popular everywhere. As a matter of fact, it took hundreds of years for these systems to become widespread. The development of sewage in the modern sense began in the 19th century. The serious increase in the population of the cities and the inability to evacuate the dirt caused by all this crowd caused serious diseases.

Today, sewage systems have become much more advanced. Waste water and wastes, after being collected, are treated in treatment plants and then, if they are usable, re-enter our lives. If it is necessary to share a striking data about the pipes used for the distribution and transportation of wastewater from the places where it is collected to the treatment plants or to the sea, plastic pipes used in natural gas, drinking water and sewerage systems of developed countries constitute 95% of the total pipes. The size of this ratio is not accidental, it is all about the advantages of plastic. Plastic types such as polyethylene, polypropylene and PVC are used in the production of plastic sewer pipes. Plastic sewer pipes can be easily transported and placed due to their lightweight construction. Since they are resistant to corrosion, they have a very long life compared to equivalent materials. In addition, being resistant to chemicals protects them from the negative effects of all kinds of waste. They can be produced in various diameters and lengths, so they can be selected in different sizes according to different needs. Plastic sewer pipes are widely used today, and especially in big cities, completely plastic sewer pipes are used for the management of wastewater and waste. The use of these pipes ensures the regular collection and treatment of wastewater and waste, thus positively affecting people's quality of life and health. It would only suit plastic to ensure that the waste waters and sewers, which have been a stomachache for hundreds of years, are discharged perfectly!
