Nestled 100 miles south of Winnipeg, Manitoba, the Blumengart Hutterite Colony faced a critical challenge: delivering heated water efficiently from their central plant to distant livestock barns. Not just any piping system would do. They needed something easy to install, capable of retaining heat, remaining watertight, and withstanding the harsh underground environment.

This study will enhance the industry's understanding of vertical piping systems, expansion, and contraction, particularly in comparison to traditional materials like copper.
