HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) has become increasingly popular in water applications, courtesy of its corrosion resistance and longevity. When butt-fused to standard, McElroy fusion parts create a joint that is as strong, if not stronger than the pipe itself—a feature that gives it an edge over PVC and ductile iron pipe. Most importantly, fused HDPE has a leakage rate of zero, eliminating the risk of outside contamination—an integral advantage for preserving the integrity of waterwork systems.
HDPE piping stands out for its impenetrable resistance to biological growth and chemicals, hence topping the list for wastewater and mine tailings applications. A service life ranging from 50-100 years provides considerable savings in maintenance, downstream operational hours, cost of replacement parts, and in avoiding wasting water.
McElroy fusion parts are designed to mitigate the demands of varying job sites with efficiency and improve overall operator efficacy. Irrespective of the difficulty of the task, these parts have been credited for their robust reliability, timely completion of projects, and even in outpacing project timelines.
Ditching the traditional trench-digging approach, McElroy's line-up boasts innovative installation methods. These include Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD), Pipe Bursting, Slip-lining, Plow and Plant, and even the Submerged/Floating Pipe method for various environments. Innovative fusion technology is the backbone behind all these methods, ensuring a robust seal that confidently eliminates the possibility of leakages.
The McElroy DataLogger®7 acts as the fusion controller, logging all parameters for accountability. This data is systematically stored in the McElroy Vault™, a cloud-based system that provides credentialed access to fusion information globally. This undeniable advantage layers every joint with an extra seal of assurance, indispensable when the infrastructure serves a substantial population each day.
There's no denying that HDPE is fast becoming a favorable alternative to traditional piping materials. The benefits are apparent— cost-effectiveness, lasting lifespan, and minimal leaks. McElroy fusion parts are indispensable companions in the installation of HDPE, assuring unrivaled efficiency, and durability.
