Production
In late 2009, our Calmar Alberta facility began producing with a new state-of-the-art PE jacket extruder. This highly automated line allows greater overall capacity and flexibility up to 1200 mm (48 in) diameter core pipe.

Where laws and regulations do not provide adequate controls, we will adopt our own standards to protect human health and the environment.
Support and promote sound scientific principles and fiscally responsible public policy with the aim of improving environmental quality and health and safety.
Advocate the adoption of prudent environmental, health and safety principles and practices with our contractors, vendors and suppliers.
