Over 50 years in service across North America. The number one choice of pipe material for waterworks applications in Canada. Durable
Non-corrosive Proven performance

Trenchless Technologies

Directional Drilling Slip Lining Pipe Bursting

Trenchless Technologies Pipe Requirements

Fully restrained joint Flexibility Abrasion resistance Compatibility Easy to maintain

PVC Pipe Evolved


Fusible PVC is the next step in the evolution of PVC pipes to adapt to the new Trenchless environment; all the benefits of PVC plus:
Fully restrained joint High tensile strength High resistance to contaminants Small OD to ID ratio, providing for smaller bore holes

The next step in evolution


Fusible PVC pipe meets the same standards as the regular bell and spigot pipes:
CSA B137.3 AWWA C900/C905 NSF 61

Fusion is performed by trained qualified technicians using a patented fusion process (2,529,412) Joints are recorded and documented for traceability
