Welding heavy wall HDPE

Welding heavy wall HDPE

(OP)
Hello,
What would be the best technique for welding heavy wall HDPE pipe sections together?  Our pipe will be 20" diameter and 3" thick.  In the past we have used hot plates for smaller and thinner wall pipe, but I am pretty sure this will not be adequate for 3" thickness.

Thanks...I appreciate any past experiences or guidance you may have!

Thank you Pud and CoryPad for your suggestions.  I will look into them.
