Infrastructure Issues

As much as we would like to believe that America will never fall apart, the real truth is that internally we are crumbling.  In order to rebuild our nation’s aging infrastructure, we must make significant investments to preserve our most basic needs.  The infrastructure that delivers our drinking water to our homes and businesses is aging and many water pipes are at the end of their useful life.  In dire need of improvements, the nation is looking for many answers.  PE pipe can address these concerns for municipal water markets.

PE pipe is extremely strong, durable, flexible, corrosion free and chemical resistant.  This makes it perfect for a variety of underground conditions.  Since it is made from a durable, flexible plastic, PE pipe should last up to 100 years.  Unlike other pipes, PE pipe is 100 percent safe when used in the field or in the process of manufacturing or disposing it.  The key to PE pipe is that it can be joined by a heat fusion process that forms joints that are leak-free.  When other pipes leak, there is “unaccounted for” water.  That also means more electricity to pump more water to make up for the loss due to the leak.  With PE pipe, there is no leakage and therefore less electricity is needed which saves consumers on rising utility costs.  PE pipe is about conserving water and protecting the environment.
