INDUSTRIES WE SERVE
Plastics for Water and Wastewater
A treatment plant is the worst place on earth to be made of steel: constant immersion, aggressive chemistry, and decades of required service. Plastics do the job without corroding — weirs, paddles, wear shoes, chain guides and piping components that outlast the concrete around them. We cut, weld and machine them to your drawings.
Common Water and Wastewater Applications
- Potable water systems (valve and pump components)
- Irrigation systems (bearings, nozzles, pivot bushings)
- Aquaculture
- Specialized chemical delivery systems
- Reclamation process piping
- Sprinkler/water aeration systems
- Hot and cold water distribution systems
- Plumbing pipes and fittings
- Double contained piping systems
- Water and sewage treatment — paddles, weirs, wear shoes, sprockets, chain guides
- Gravity and force main industrial and municipal sewer systems
- Ultra pure water systems
- Submerged marine installations
- Ocean thermal energy conversion projects, designed to produce energy and air condition buildings
- Desalinization
- Grating and stair systems
Why Plastics Win
- Lightweight
- Impact resistant
- Weather resistant
- Chemical and corrosion resistant
- Easy to fabricate
- Excellent weatherability
- Quieter than metal pipes (no “water hammer”)
- Easy and safer to install
- Low maintenance
- Easy to weld, install and operate
- Excellent flexibility and bending radius (which eliminates the need for custom fittings)
- Surge-resistant
- Provides superior protection for public health when used in water treatment applications
- Fabrication can be done on-site with simple hand tools; no torches or heavy equipment needed
- Energy savings with dynamic systems (a result of plastics' lighter weight and lower specific gravity)

HOW WE SUPPORT WATER AND WASTEWATER
Stocked, cut to size, and machined to your drawings
Sheet, rod and tube in the grades this industry specs, no full-sheet minimums. CNC routing, laser cutting, bending, welding and machining under our ISO 9001:2015 system (Cert No. 23746), with material certs and first article inspection on request. Prototype to production.
