Fusing HDPE water main pipe
The worker is fusing (joining) two sections of HDPE water main pipe together, with heat fusion (also called butt fusion or heat welding). The long runs of somewhat flexible pipe will be installed with trenchless technology (directional drilling).
To build with fusible HDPE pipe, you often need a long laydown / staging area.
Water main project in Delavan, Wisconsin. August 2005.
