McElroy Adds Build and Price Internet Feature

McElroy has added a build and price feature to its Web site, www.mcelroy.com. The feature enables users to build and price fusion machines and pipe-lining accessories, as well as choose the cylinder force desired. Information can then be sent to the distributor of choice for a quote.

 

Sewage, Wastewater Construction at Record Levels

Sewage and wastewater construction is expected to remain at historically high levels, according to FMI’s Construction Outlook: Fourth Quarter 2009 Report. The market has more than doubled in size in the past decade, from $10.1 billion in 1999 to $25.7 billion in 2009. Slow, steady growth will push the market to $32.1 billion in 2013. Driving the projections are Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the nation needs to invest $202.5 billion to update and improve wastewater systems and funding from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that will award the EPA $4 billion to construct wastewater infrastructure. The greatest areas of need are the rehabilitation of sewer networks and wastewater treatment plant upgrades. To view the report, go to www.fminet.com/assets/FMI2009Q3Outlook.pdf.

StormTech was created as a 50/50 joint venture between ADS and Infiltrator Systems Inc. to engineer and manufacture chambers for use in underground stormwater retention/detention systems.
