Two Miles of Tite Liner® for a Pipeline & Two Milestones for UPS

DURANGO, Colo., June 12 - A crew from United Pipeline Systems (UPS) not only beat a 48-hour deadline to install 12,000 feet of 20-inch Tite Liner® in a natural gas pipeline, but also accomplished two important steps that could dramatically expand business opportunities.

Dorwin Hawn, vice president UPS, said the project involved the first extensive night work performed by UPS, and established that UPS could perform to U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) requirements. "Demonstrating both of those capabilities could make UPS a stronger contender for more projects," he said. He noted that UPS, a division of Insituform, has only done two projects on DOT pipelines in 20 years.

Tom Vossman, Insituform senior vice president and chief operating officer, called the crew’s performance “a milestone in UPS history.”

Project Manager Joe Worthy said the customer was impressed by UPS’ performance and they already are negotiating for another, bigger contract next year. UPS already rehabilitates more natural gas, crude oil, and mining pipelines than any other company in the world.
