Several factors affect the cost and amount of electrical power required to operate a utility system. By calculating how different pipe materials and different types of isolation valves impact energy costs, utilities can potentially save thousands of dollars each year.

Approximately 80,000 feet of ductile iron pipe is buried beneath the Panama Canal’s expanded footprint, providing potable water, dewatering and fire protection to the new locks’ facilities and surrounding communities.

Learn more about the latest innovations from AMERICAN including zinc-coated ductile iron pipe, AFC Mapper, earthquake joint system and more.

Studies on AMERICAN’s involvement in the Panama Canal Expansion and the city of Lafayette, Louisiana’s first installation using HDD were recently presented at ASCE Pipelines.

The system, for use with AMERICAN’s pipe, valves and hydrants, moves up and down and side to side to resist the tremendous underground forces from an earthquake.

AMERICAN’s Earthquake Joint System protects water infrastructure during seismic events. The system, for use with AMERICAN’s pipe, valves, and hydrants, moves up and down and side to side to resist the tremendous underground forces from an earthquake.

This study looked at one city’s positive first experience with Horizontal Directional Drilling using ductile iron pipe and involved three successful pulls of 1,140, 940 and 740 feet.

Water utilities across the U.S. are specifying and installing zinc-coated ductile iron pipe. Why zinc? It’s a proven, life extending product for iron pipe, adding years of life and service to an already reliable and resilient product.
