MaxDR large-diameter, higher-pressure, fusible composite reinforced HDPE pipe selected to replace existing thicker-walled pipe – cutting pipe cost, installation time, and reducing freight for a water midstream transfer customer.
KILGORE, TEXAS — July 24, 2026 — Composite Piping Technology LLC (CPT) today announced that the first loads of its 24-inch MaxDR® 350 pipe have arrived on site for a major water midstream operation in the Permian Basin. The project marks another milestone in CPT’s mission to bring measurable performance and value improvements to pipeline infrastructure across the energy sector.
On this project, MaxDR 350 is replacing a larger-diameter, thicker-walled pipe traditionally used in water midstream service. The switch is already delivering significant benefits for the customer, including:
- Nearly 50 pounds per foot in weight savings, reducing material handling burdens and transportation costs
- More than 30 minutes of fusing time saved per joint, accelerating installation schedules and reducing labor costs
- Double the number of joints per truckload, cutting the number of shipments required and improving overall project logistics
By combining a lighter footprint with faster joining times and improved transport efficiency, MaxDR 350 is helping operators significantly reduce total installed cost without compromising the performance demands of high-volume water midstream service. barrier underscores CPT’s commitment to supporting its customers wherever they operate.
About MaxDR Large-Diameter, Fusible, Composite Reinforced HDPE Pipe
Composite Piping Technology developed MaxDR specifically to address the challenges now defining produced water infrastructure in basins like the Permian: high pressures, long hauls, corrosive fluids, and the relentless pressure on construction budgets and timelines.
MaxDR is the first HDPE pipe reinforced with multiple composite layers and can handle two to three times the pressure of conventional HDPE pipe. Available in diameters from 12 to 24 inches and pressure ratings of 350, 550, and 750 psi – MaxDR takes corrosion resistant poly pipe to places where only steel or fiberglass have traditionally been used.
About Composite Piping Technology
Composite Piping Technology LLC (CPT) is leading the revolution in composite piping through advanced technology and manufacturing methods. Our patented design and manufacturing process converts traditional HDPE pipe to a higher operating pressure capacity while lowering the cost on an equivalent internal dimensional and operating pressure basis.
Our flagship product, MaxDR®, is the first large diameter fusible composite HDPE pipe with standard operating pressures of 350, 550 and 750 psi. MaxDR delivers A Measurable Difference in Performance and Value™ due to its 2x to 3x higher pressure capabilities than conventional HDPE pipe while supporting lower capital expenses and shorter fuse times. MaxDR is designed for wide range of applications across Oil & Gas, Industrial & Mining, Water & Wastewater, and other industrial sectors.
