Tag: AMERICAN Flex-Ring Ductile Iron Pipe

Beneath the waters of Chequamegon Bay on Lake Superior in Ashland, Wisconsin, about 4,500 feet of 24-inch AMERICAN Flex-Ring Ductile Iron Pipe and a submerged timber crib intake structure were installed to ensure the city’s residents have quality drinking water for the next 100 years.

Creating a water-filled basin at the AMERICAN Research Center to conduct underwater testing of the 24-inch Flex-Ring pipe system was a first for AMERICAN Cast Iron Pipe Company Research Engineer Steve DeBoalt, whose career with AMERICAN spans 44 years.
