Here’s How MaxDR® Changes the Equation HDPE pipe costs (DR7) have risen sharply. Unstable raw material costs, supply chain problems, and strong demand across energy, water, and other industries are all driving prices up. The cost of large-diameter poly pipe has become a major strain on project budgets, forcing operators to rethink or even delayRead more

Reliable, Safe, Rugged, and Cost-Effective Pipe for Mining Mining operations depend on reliable movement of water, slurry, tailings, and chemicals to keep production running safely and efficiently. Pipelines are the lifelines of these systems, connecting pits, plants, and tailings facilities across often harsh and remote environments. From dewatering deep pits to transporting slurry over milesRead more

We’re excited to share that MaxDR™ pipe has begun shipment and installation for a new 6.5-mile produced water pipeline project in the Utica-Marcellus in Pennsylvania. An E&P operator chose MaxDR over HDPE DR7 and fiberglass after weighing cost, performance, and installation challenges in the state’s mountainous terrain. Beating Others in Tough Conditions The operator wasRead more

Constructing and installing pipelines for water midstream projects is a demanding, resource-intensive process. Operators must navigate logistical, mechanical, and environmental challenges—all while maintaining a tight construction schedule. Time is of the essence, because it directly impacts project costs and long-term ROI. Traditionally, standard DR7 high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe has been the go-to piping option thanksRead more

Water midstream operators today have access to more tools than ever before to boost project efficiency, performance, and profitability. For oil and gas producers seeking to enhance operational efficiency and productivity, water transportation, handling, and disposal processes often represent untapped opportunities. Forward-thinking producers and water midstream companies are now unlocking significant advancements by adopting advancedRead more
