IRVING, TEXAS -- The Plastics Pipe Institute, Inc. (PPI) announced the winners of its Projects and Members of the Year program during its annual membership meeting, which was held virtually on May 12, 2021.
For more than ten years, the association’s members have selected a Project of the Year and a Member of the Year for each of the five PPI divisions: Building & Construction, Drainage, Energy Piping Systems, Municipal & Industrial and Power & Communications. PPI is the major North American trade association representing the plastic pipe industry.
The association said that this year it received the most submissions, and that it was also the first year in a decade of the program’s existence to have multiple project winners in two divisions.
Winning projects included the Florida installation of one of the largest horizontal directional drilling (HDD) of 54-inch diameter pipe, a new stormwater drainage system for a new soccer complex in Haiti plus the underground installation of electrical conduit to protect hot air balloons. Two PPI company members shared the honors for a new pedestrian bridge in Utah, while two others were recognized for two separate oil field projects.
