The company's revolutionary system improves the resilience of the steel pressure tube in Differential settlement and seismic applications
Vancouver, Wash.Present February 12, 2025 / Prnewswire/ -northwest Pipe Company (Nasdaq: NWPX), a leading manufacturer of water-related infrastructure, is proud to announce that the US office has issued in the USA US Patent No. 12215817 for the Infrashield® joint system (“Infrashield®”), an innovative geohazard -resistant steel pipe solution (GRSP), which strengthens the resistance of steel pipelines in geologically endangered areas without being necessary.
Made in the USA Infrashield® is supported by strict tests and improves the pipeline performance of C200 steel tube by offering a fully welded, easy-to-install system that ensures reliable reliability and at the same time achieves considerable cost savings. The system uses a stretch -based design to improve the resilience of the steel pipes with lap welding. A small projection is produced in the steel wall, which effectively absorbs the deformation, which is imposed by different settlement or seismic activity without exceeding the lap connection joint itself.
“This patent underlines our commitment to excellence and resilience for the infrastructure,” said Scott Montross, President and CEO of the Northwest Pipe Company. “Our internal engineering team has been working on Infrasheld® for several years and leads to groundbreaking progress in the steel pipeline.”
Infrashield® should withstand the requesting geological conditions, including seismic activity, landslides and soil movements, which makes it a significant solution for critical water infrastructure projects. This patented technology increases the management of the Northwest Pipe Company in the development of advanced water transmission solutions that provide permanent performance and value.
