Challenge
A utility customer had a unique application where they needed to protect their pipeline assets from potential third-party damage during joint trench installations. Ensuring the integrity of the service lines was critical, and the existing solution was not sufficient to mitigate the risks associated in these scenarios.
Approach
KTI collaborated with its manufacturer and utility partner to develop a tailored solution that addressed the specific concerns of the customer. Together, they designed a unique cased PE riser system, which provided an added layer of protection for the pipeline assets during joint trench installations. The innovative design required a revamp of the manufacturing facility in order to accommodate the assembly and space requirements for the new riser.
Results
The custom designed cased PE riser solution significantly reduced third-party damage during joint trench installations. The enhanced protection ensured the long-term integrity of the pipeline assets, reducing the risk of costly repairs, replacements or harm to the public.
