Like horizontal distances, vertical distances can be deceptive. They are typically encountered when a Ductile iron (DI) pipeline changes elevation to avoid an existing obstruction, such as another underground utility line. In part II of our #IronStrong Blogs on measuring the distance between fittings, Scott Rhorick and Gary Gula discuss how to calculate the vertical distance between DI pipeline offsets.

About us
For generations, McWane Ductile has been an industry leader in water distribution and infrastructure that provide plumbing and clean water works systems. The history of McWane Ductile traces back to 1871, when Charles Phillip (C.P.) McWane entered the foundry business in Lynchburg, Virginia, with his sons, Henry and James Ransom (J.R.). McWane Inc. wasn’t formed until 1977. As the country grew, so did the need to supply flourishing cities with clean water and to remove waste safely. In 1921, J.R. McWane started the McWane Cast Iron Pipe Company, a company that was designed and built as a specialty foundry for small diameter pipe. McWane Ductile’s expansion continued throughout the century by incorporating multiple facilities, including Pacific States Cast Iron Pipe Company, established in 1926 with McWane as a 50% partner; Atlantic States Cast Iron Pipe Company, purchased in 1975; Clow Water Systems Company, purchased in 1985; and Canada Pipe Company, purchased in 1989. The acquisition of these facilities strengthened McWane Ductile’s capabilities by bringing together the industry’s most experienced manufacturers and latest engineering techniques to create one iron-strong brand. Canada Pipe, also a member of the McWane ductile iron pipe companies, will retain its name, which best reflects its unique position as the leading ductile iron pipe provider in Canada. With over 900 employees, McWane Ductile is recognized today as the country's most experienced manufacturer and supplier of ductile iron pipe. The company's modern facilities offer 3" to 36" ductile iron pressure pipe and fittings to meet customer needs throughout the United States and Canada.

Straight-line distances can sometimes be deceiving when examining water or sewer project plans. Our latest #IronStrong Blog, co-authored by Scott Rhorick and Gary Gula, addresses determining the exact amount of Ductile iron pipe needed when a change of direction due to horizontal offset fittings occurs.

Shout out to the team at Hawk Construction in El Paso, TX. These folks know the right way to prep for a project. They're about to kick off an upgrade to the city's water infrastructure by replacing more than 2500-feet of AC pipe with fresh cast 24-inch Ductile iron pipe. They got ready by hosting a Lunch and Learn session with our own Ben Johnson and Jacob Lovin, to get the details on Tyton and TR Flex pipe installation. They even prepared for the training session by watching videos and sharing blogs from our online Learning Center. That's what we call #IronStong. See the waterworks training resources we offer for yourself at the link below. https://lnkd.in/eqHbxPMZ

Did You Know? A typical truckload of Ductile iron pipe weighs around 40,000 pounds or 20 tons! The number of pipes per truckload varies based on the size and class of the pipe. Understanding the dimensions of your pipe is crucial for project planning and efficient installation. Watch and learn why the size of construction vehicles and installation equipment is dictated by project conditions and pipe size, not weight. https://lnkd.in/d6WdTgty Don’t miss out on this informative episode!

The strength and durability of the Ductile Iron pipe make it an ideal choice for adding taps to a water main. It's safer and resistant to cracking or bursting, especially when the crew installs service lines in the trench. Tapping a DI pipe is a straightforward process that doesn't require expensive tools; just a skilled team who knows how to handle the pipe Learn more about pipe tapping at McWaneDuctile.com or visit our YouTube Channel for a comprehensive how-to video and much more. #IronStrong
