Vortex Companies and EBAA Iron Join Forces for Watermain Innovations
In an exciting development for water infrastructure, Vortex Companies has announced a strategic partnership with EBAA Iron, a reputed American manufacturer known for its innovative joint restraints for water and wastewater pipelines. This collaboration comes as a pivotal move toward advancing Vortex's mission of establishing a complete watermain renewal system that caters to municipal needs while ensuring sustainability and efficiency.
A Focus on Potable Water Solutions
This announcement follows Vortex's successful launch of Vortex Water, a dedicated division aimed at providing effective potable water solutions. The recent relaunch of their UnitedBLUE™ product—a highly sought-after cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner solution—has laid the groundwork for this collaboration, which promises to integrate cutting-edge American-made technologies to enhance water infrastructure throughout the country.
Mike Vellano, CEO of Vortex Companies, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "This collaboration signifies a huge leap forward in rehabilitating water infrastructure. By combining top-tier trenchless technology with proven American manufacturing, we aim to deliver a solution that is both scalable and effective, proudly produced within the USA."
Innovative Technologies for Infrastructure Renewal
At the core of this partnership is EBAA Iron’s Megalug joint restraint system, which is engineered to provide reliable support across a broad spectrum of applications including valves, hydrants, and various pipeline needs—whether above or below ground. This system will be seamlessly integrated into Vortex Water's suite of solutions, including UnitedBLUE™, ensuring that municipalities can efficiently rehabilitate and reconnect their aging watermains.
JP Bedard, CEO of Vortex Infrastructure Services Inc., commented on their unified approach, saying, "Our commitment has always been to simplify and standardize the watermain renewal process. With the integration of EBAA Iron's Megalug restraints and our UnitedBLUE CIPP liner, we are presenting a dependable solution that municipalities can trust to maintain their water systems."
Sustainable Solutions to Combat Water Waste
The partnership also addresses a critical issue in infrastructure management: the staggering loss of treated water, estimated at six billion gallons daily due to aging watermains. Together, Vortex's proven technologies and EBAA's durable joint restraints are poised to make a significant impact, offering municipalities a reliable and repeatable installation process that enhances the longevity and reliability of their water systems.
