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.
ISCO Pioneers Industry First with Innovative HDPE Solution for CCR Project
ISCO, in partnership with Fisher Contracting and AECOM, utilized HDPE piping solutions to comply with new EPA regulations for coal ash disposal in a landmark CCR project. Discover how their hands-on fusion expertise, along with McElroy’s large diameter fusion machine, Talon 2000, resulted in an industry first and set a new standard for safe and effective CCR projects.
National Elk Refuge’s Irrigation System: Pipeline Irrigation Using K-Line Method
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.
Emergency HDPE Pipe Replacement at University of Chicago
Learn how ISCO and the University of Chicago overcame a pump malfunction and HDPE pipe damage with innovative solutions. The report covers the emergency and long-term replacement plans, including the development of a new limited access machine to butt weld joints in a tight space–a testament to ISCO’s ability to provide comprehensive solutions beyond supplying pipes.
