What This Sector Is Up Against
Water systems are long life assets where the pipe is buried, embedded or hidden in a riser, so replacement cost far exceeds material cost. Stainless is specified here for drinking water quality, for sprinkler reliability and for drainage that has to survive decades.
Pain Points
- Secondary contamination of purified water in the distribution network
- Corrosion in drainage and wastewater lines carrying aggressive effluent
- Sprinkler systems that must work after years of standing water
- Irrigation water chemistry attacking coated carbon steel
What Buyers Need
- Pipe that will not contaminate drinking water in the riser
- Corrosion resistant structural sections for tanks and launders
- Welded and seamless options across a wide diameter range
- Long lengths to reduce the number of buried joints
