PITTSBURGH, Pa., May 21, 2002 -- Underground Solutions Inc. announced recently that it will be hosting a three day water line rehabilitation exhibition of the Company's Duraliner Water Line Renewal System in New Orleans on June 13th, 14th and 15th.
Underground Solutions will be inviting major water providers and engineering firms from across the region to attend the three day event which will feature actual field demonstrations of the Duraliner system and will provide an opportunity for the attendees to familiarize themselves with the state-of-the-art technologies for water line rehabilitation.
The event is timed to allow participants to also attend the American Water Works Association National Convention on June 16th thru June 20th in New Orleans. Underground Solutions will be featured as an exhibitor at the convention.
Duraliner is a unique patented process for pipeline renewal resulting in a "stand alone" structural lining capable of handling internal minimum operating pressures of 150 psi (Duraliner 150) with a 3.2 safety factor.
Duraliner conforms to NSF 61 Standards for Drinking Water Components/Health Effects. In addition, Duraliner provides an equivalent design-life of new PVC pipelines thus qualifying the rehabilitated pipelines to be capitalized as new assets under the rules of GASB Statement 34. In non-pressure (gravity flow) applications such as sanitary or storm sewers, Duraliner Lite and Duraliner Spot provide economical structural relining solutions.
Mark Smith, UGSI's president and CEO stated, "We are excited about the rapidly growing interest in Duraliner and the entire water line rehabilitation industry. We are currently planning similar events in strategic locations throughout the country."
