This field report highlights the role of HDPE piping in supporting aquatic life at the Frost Museum of Science in Miami, Florida. We cover the unique requirements of the project and how ISCO provided customized solutions using HDPE pipe to ensure durability, corrosion-resistance and leak-free performance.
The National Elk Refuge in Wyoming replaced its old irrigation system with a new pipeline irrigation system using a K-line method that provides a more reliable and efficient way to irrigate. The US Fish & Wildlife Service estimates that even though the new system will irrigate more land, water usage will remain relatively the same as it is more efficient at getting water to its destination. The new irrigation system is designed to be gravity-fed and was installed to reduce the high animal concentrations in the winter, which could spread infectious diseases.
High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and the McElroy Talon™ 2000 fusion machine upgrade irrigation systems at Baker Farming in California. The article highlights the benefits of using HDPE pipe and the Talon machine for pipelining, including increased durability, corrosion resistance, and reduced water loss. The Talon’s self-propelled, tracked vehicle design and touch-screen interface also made it easier and more efficient for operators to work with large-diameter pipes.
San Jacinto College’s South campus is using Aquatherm pipe to upgrade its heating and cooling systems as part of its initiative to offer diverse and cost-effective educational opportunities to its students. The college aims to consolidate and simplify its physical plants with the new chilled water loop, while ensuring predictable life cycle costs.
The needs of the new McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant in Victoria, British Columbia presented an opportunity that would lead to the construction of the largest solid wall HDPE outfall in North America. The line stretched 1.92 km (1.2 miles) long and was primarily constructed with 2250 mm DR26 HDPE pipe. It featured several unique and innovative concepts from design to installation. ISCO Industries supplied the 2250 mm pipe manufactured by Agru America in 16-meter sticks.
Learn how Texas A&M in College Station, Texas solved their high leak rates and service interruptions with polyethylene pipe. With the help of ISCO Industries, the university was able to replace all steel pipe on campus and utilize polyethylene pipe for their new RELLIS Education and Research Campus. Discover how HDPE and PERT pipes provided a leak-free system that won’t corrode in the ground and expanded the operation window for poly pipe.
