Ft. Lauderdale's 17 Directional Drills with 48” and 54” #HDPE This article in Trenchless Technology Magazine discusses Ft. Lauderdale's struggle with aging sewer infrastructure and the frequent pipe failures resulting in spillage of over 211 million gallons in just a single 2 month period. The project is part of the City’s program to replace all of its decaying cast iron and ductile iron sewer pipes due to the area’s corrosive high salt water table. The solution was to use #HDPE pipe that was installed via 17 Horizontal Directional Drilling #HDD sites and under 3 rivers. The City worked with Hazen and Sawyer (owner’s representative) and with the 2 MAB contractor members Murphy Pipeline Contractors and DAVID MANCINI & SONS, INC. to build this 7.5-mile force main.

About us
The Plastics Pipe Institute Inc. (PPI) is the major trade association representing all segments of the plastic pipe industry and is dedicated to promoting plastics as the material of choice for pipe applications. Plastic pipe systems are a sustainable and environmentally responsible choice that will serve generations to come. They are energy efficient during manufacturing and provide peak protection from contamination during service. Strong, durable, light-weight and flexible, these piping systems require significantly less energy to fabricate, transport and install than metal or concrete alternatives. With superior resistance to corrosion and abrasion, plastic piping systems also supply long service life, excellent joint performance and offer leak free protection-all adding up to exceptional value. Mission: To promote plastics as the material of choice for pipe applications. Objective: To provide a forum for member companies to work cooperatively toward broadening the market where plastic pipe systems can be used. Products: Pipe, components and pipe systems that serve virtually every underground utility and application where pipe is used. Examples of spheres of influence include Fuel Gas, Oil Patch, Nuclear Energy, Municipal Water and Industrial Systems, Sewer, Stormwater Management, Drainage Telecommunications, Conduit and Building and Construction Systems for Hot and Cold Water and Radiant Heating.

Proper drainage helps maximize crop production Proper drainage means fields dry out faster, allowing for earlier planting and a longer growing season. This is crucial for maximizing production and profits. River Valley Pipe helps farmers get the job done and take advantage of all the benefits of corrugated drainage tile.

Did you see this article in Trenchless Technology Magazine on Pipe Bursting with #HDPE? This article highlights how St. Paul Regional Water Services increased their water main replacement by bringing in house the pipe bursting program. In 2022, St. Paul launched this program and HDPE “is being used to replace existing cast iron mains.” Since start of the program, St. Paul has “completed an average of 5,000 ft of main pipe bursting a year.” St. Paul Regional Water Services maintains approximately 1200 miles of water mains spanning 7 cities in the region.
