Snap-Tite® No-Dig Solution Lessens Environmental Disruption
Steuben County revitalized their roadways and drainage systems, masterminded by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). Through a strategic partnership with ISCO Industries’ Snap-Tite experts, the NYSDOT team, addressed the challenge of rehabilitating over 500 aging culverts concealed beneath the region’s scenic beauty. By embracing holistic rehabilitation strategies and leveraging innovative solutions like the HydroBell, the project not only enhanced hydraulic efficiency but also achieved unprecedented levels of productivity, all while freeing the team from the constraints of traditional roadwork.
Optimizing Water Resource Management with Spirolite Open Profile Pipe
Explore the innovative Orchard City project, where the installation of 54” & 60” Class 63 Spirolite Open Profile Pipe and Fittings redefined water delivery efficiency. Executed in the winter of 2018 through spring 2019, the project ingeniously optimized flow needs by employing two pipe sizes that allowed nested deliveries, reducing freight costs and meeting installation timelines. Beyond efficient water transport, this endeavor revitalized reservoirs and canals, offering local farmers a more effective means of water collection, thereby curbing evaporation and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. Amid escalating water conservation mandates, the collaboration between farmers and state authorities showcased resourcefulness and responsible natural resource management.

Efficient Culvert Rehabilitation for Uninterrupted Rail Operations
Dive into the endeavor undertaken by the Union Pacific Railroad, spanning 23 states in North America, to rejuvenate its rail infrastructure while maintaining uninterrupted rail operations. Amidst regular maintenance, the railroad encountered a corroded 84-inch ID corrugated metal culvert beneath tracks in Athens, Texas. The ingenious solution came in the form of Snap-Tite’s 63-inch OD high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, chosen for its no-dig installation, operational safety, and remarkable flow rate enhancement. This strategic collaboration between Union Pacific and ISCO’s Snap-Tite product showcases a pioneering approach to rail culvert rehabilitation, embodying efficiency, sustainability, and lasting infrastructure resilience.
Spirolite HDPE Culvert Reline Beneath Interstate
Read about the remarkable engineering feat of replacing a 280-foot segment within a 144” culvert crossing beneath busy Interstate 65 in Indiana. This project seamlessly installed 120” Spirolite High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, upholding uninterrupted traffic flow. With ingenious “Bell and Spigot” connections, the lightweight Spirolite pipes were efficiently assembled and pushed into the existing culvert. The project’s success not only reflects the innovation of HDPE profile wall technology but also demonstrates its pivotal role in safeguarding local streams crucial to the farming community and the surrounding ecosystem. The installation, completed in under two days, stands as a testament to engineering excellence and proactive environmental stewardship.
