Bloomington / St Louis Roadshows March 2026

Core & Main partnered with the Alliance in two Midwest cities this past week to deliver their highly regarded HDPE Total Solutions Roadshow. More than 50 attendees participated in a dynamic session in suburban St. Louis, followed by a second successful event in Bloomington, Illinois. The audiences were highly engaged, demonstrating both strong interest and real-world experience with fusion techniques and the management of HDPE pipe systems in municipal applications.

Live demonstrations remain a cornerstone of these programs—clearly illustrating how HDPE butt fusion produces a joint that is not only leak-free, but stronger than the pipe wall itself. In addition to butt fusion, the team conducted electrofusion demonstrations, showcasing the simplicity and effectiveness of making reliable service connections to the main.

A strong team delivered the program:

• Bill Breckenridge – Strongbridge
• Dave Mosier – Core & Main
• Dan Landy – PE Alliance
• Ian Dethloff – PE Alliance
• Stephen Boros – Pipeline Plastics
• Jesse Rynearson – American AVK
