Testimonials

As a ski area operator for over thirty years now, both in Canada and the US, I have come to appreciate the importance of investing wisely in resort infrastructure. The economics of snowmaking and water pipe installation has been recently changed with the introduction of TRM ductile pipe from PNP. The cost of this new solution,
one that significantly outlasts traditional steel pipe, is significantly higher than traditional pipe yet provides a solution that more and more operators are selecting. There are few product innovations that are considered game changers in our industry. Ductile iron pipe is one of them.

Over the past eight years, Squaw Valley has used lots of ductile iron pipe, and in our opinion, the TRM joggle system is the smoothest and easiest DI pipe to put together. With the soft flexible joint gasket, much less force and precision is required for assembly, and no special equipment is required. During construction, it has been easy and fast to obtain any additional required fittings.

This new supply pipeline was a very challenging project, and PNP Supply has been a superb partner, enabling Sunday River to complete this project on schedule and under budget. Whenever there was any issue — technical, engineering, unusual field conditions, or logistics — PNP Supply provided immediate assistance and guidance. It has been a pleasure to work with all of the staff at PNP Supply.

The longevity and dependability of TRM’s ductile iron pipe system has made it our first choice for replacing old steel pipe and for new installations. The initial cost of material is higher than steel, but is offset by positive benefits including ease and quickness of installation, better flow and pressure, rust- and scale-resistance inside the pipe so that no residue clogs nozzles on snowmaking machines The pipe’s strength and durability result in a much longer service life. Having this quality pipe installed adds value to the ski area.
