Fusible PVC® Pipe Used in Over 10,000 HDD Installs

As utilities tackle the challenges of rehabilitating and expandingaging water distribution, wastewater collection and electricalpower networks, they are increasingly turning to trenchlessinstallation methods to reduce cost and minimize disruption tothe public. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) continues to growin acceptance as utilities gain experience with the installationmethod and the number of HDD contractors continues to expand.In many areas HDD installation has closed the cost gap versusdirect bury, leading utilities and design engineers to increasinglyincorporate HDD alternatives in the design phase of theirprojects. Prior to 2004, the primary pipe materials used in HDDapplications were steel and HDPE. <<Click here for the full article>>
