PLANO, TEXAS (November 14, 2008) - On Wednesday, October 29, the Guttenberg Press reported the failure of a 12-inch fused PVC pipeline located near Guttenberg, Iowa. The pipeline was part of a project that, once completed, will allow the City of Guttenberg to transfer effluent from the city's sewage processing plant to a Mississippi River channel. The decision was made to complete that portion of the project with High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. Within 24 hours, Performance Pipe's HDPE pipe was at the jobsite, and by the following day, the replacement section of pipe had been fused and was ready to be installed.
