The Waukesha, Wisconsin, pipeline project faced a significant challenge when an unlocated sewer forced the team to redesign the HDD path, leading to a novel approach using both HDPE and RJ-DIP pipe types in the installation. The collaboration between contractors and engineers resulted in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution.
Waukesha, once famous for its spring water and hailed as a "cure-all," now turns to Lake Michigan for a sustainable water source. A new 36-mile pipeline project aims to supply 8 million gallons of water per day to 16 Wisconsin communities.
Construction season has arrived, and hydro excavators are a critical tool for unearthing utility lines without damaging them, trenching and various other applications. A high return on this machinery investment requires giving time and attention to proper care of your safe digging equipment.
Pipelines, especially those that carry water, can be hundreds of miles long – so it may not always be simple to know for certain that a leak has occurred, let alone pinpoint the problem.
The need to update and improve the arduous process of obtaining the permits needed to get critical infrastructure projects off the ground is a longtime priority among supporters of American energy, especially advocates of infrastructure transporting fossil fuels.

The 1970s marked a revolution in underground infrastructure with the birth of cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) technology, allowing pipe repairs without excavation. This innovation, alongside other trenchless methods, has transformed the industry and continues to drive efficient solutions for aging infrastructure.
