HDPE Replaces Aging Sewer System Under Pacific Coast Highway
Underneath the Beauty: The Newport Force Main Rehabilitation project replaced decades-old sewer main running underneath the Pacific Coast Highway in Newport Beach, California. ISCO provided high-density polyethylene pipe, McElroy fusion equipment, and expertise on the job. The report discusses why HDPE was the clear choice to replace the existing sewer main and how ISCO’s support and alternative options ensured a timely and successful project completion.
Sliplining Critical Sewer Force Main: Multi-Million Dollar Solution for Catastrophic Failure in Miami-Dade County
Learn how ISCO Industries and Ric-Man Construction provided a cost-effective and time-saving solution to repair a catastrophic failure in a critical sewer force main in Miami-Dade County. By sliplining miles of the most severely weak sections of the main with 63-inch HDPE, the project saved the owner more than $4 million and avoided massive inconvenience caused by excavating and replacing the pipe.
SAWS Diversifies Water Sources with HDPE Pipeline from Carrizo Aquifer
San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) is tapping into the Carrizo Aquifer to diversify its water sources. ISCO helped solve the challenge of bringing water to the city with over 122,000 feet of HDPE pipeline. The project used field bendable and durable HDPE, saving costs, reducing environmental disturbance, and providing a 50- to 100-year lifespan. HDPE proved to be leak-free and corrosion-free, with no cathodic protection required, leading to lower maintenance costs.
Innovative Large-Diameter Profile Pipe System Used to Control Sewage Discharge
Discover how ISCO Industries helped the city of Jeffersonville control Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) discharge into the Ohio River by introducing a cost-effective and innovative large-diameter profile pipe system. Learn how spiral wound high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes and an integrated electrofusion bell and spigot technology were used for the project, including the design and fabrication of a 60″ ID offset manhole, a 63″ 45-degree elbow, and assistance with the installation and training of the electrofusion process.
ISCO Provides Timely Solutions for Irrigation Canal Project
ISCO Industries successfully supplied Nephi Irrigation Company’s canal project with 2,400 feet of 48-inch high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe and fittings, completing the order ahead of schedule. With prompt service from ISCO, the irrigation company was able to run water in the canal two days earlier than expected, saving time and avoiding delays in the project’s completion.
Role of HDPE Piping in Supporting Life at the Frost Museum of Science
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.
