In the Press: InfraShield® Joint System Shaking Up the World of Geohazard-Resistant Steel Pipe
>
Municipal Water Leader highlights Northwest Pipe Company’s fully-welded solution for safeguarding steel pipeline in differential settlement areas.
The InfraShield® Joint System by Northwest Pipe Company is an innovative, Geohazard Resistant Steel Pipe (GRSP) solution designed to strengthen the resilience of steel pipelines and keep water flowing after ground settlement, subsidence, and other geohazard events. Manufactured in the USA and backed by rigorous testing, the easy-to-install InfraShield® system offers reliably leak-free performance while minimizing risk and construction costs.
Our Senior Director of Engineering, Rich Mielke, P.E., recently sat down with Municipal Water Leader to discuss the InfraShield® Joint System. In this interview, Rich dives into the patent-pending design, advantages, and applications of the ground-breaking GRSP technology. He shares insights on a recent project utilizing InfraShield®, introduces an easy-to-use design table for differential settlement, and previews our upcoming webinar on the topic.
The fully welded InfraShield® Joint System is a simple concept, and it works…In addition to cost savings, eliminating gasketed couplings in geohazard applications significantly reduces risk, given the unpredictable nature of geohazard events.
