2014 Trenchless Project of the Year - Gulf Coast Water Authority | MPC Projects

39” Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) water transmission main rehabilitated using CompressionFit™ - CompressionFit utilizes HDPE pipe with an outside diameter (OD) larger than the inside diameter (ID) of the host pipe being rehabilitated. After the HDPE is butt fused to the measured length, it is pulled through a reduction die as it is inserted into the host pipe. This reduces the diameter of the HDPE. While the pulling load keeps it under tension, the pipe is maintained in a reduced state. When the head of the pipe reaches the termination point, the pulling load is removed. The HDPE then expands to the ID of the host pipe creating a compression fit.
