Welcome to the PVC Pipe Association's online webinar training series. Our webinars offer educational and informative workshops on an on-going basis to support the use of PVC piping in water and wastewater systems. Webinars include examples of how PVC pipe has benefited utilities across North America.
We also provide customized webinars on the design, specification and installation of PVC pipe for water and sewer projects. Let us know if you would like us to organize a webinar for your organization by emailing info@uni-bell.org.
*Note for PVC Pipe Association webinars offering Professional Development Hours (PDHs): Continuing education requirements for professional engineering licenses may differ from state to state. The final authority to approve PDHs, courses and credits and other ways to earn credits rests with each state licensing board. Individuals are advised to contact their respective state licensing boards regarding their continuing education requirements for professional engineering licensure.

Ideal for Water and Sewer Utility Engineers and Asset Managers A presentation on the PVC Pipe Longevity Report – Affordability and the 100+ Year Benchmark Standard: A Comprehensive Study on PVC Pipe, published by Utah State University’s (USU) Buried Structures Laboratory. The study examined past dig-up reports and presents quality control testing results that continue to validate the performance and longevity of PVC pipe used in water and sewer systems. A combination of pipe examination and testing data in conjunction with previous independent studies support PVC as a sustainable pipe material and confirm its longevity in excess of 100 years. Dig-up test results from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia are discussed. The critical issue of affordability is also examined, which could not come at a better time as the U.S. water sector faces the difficult task of renewing its buried infrastructure. Understanding the longevity of pipes improves the ability of a water utility to make better infrastructure investment decisions with improved affordability results for customers.
