Here at Rachke Piping we try to stay up to date on the latest materials and training techniques.  We have noticed over the years that HDPE has become a very popular product used in our industry.  Rachke Piping has been dedicated to training our personnel and staying up to date on the latest products, processes, and procedures.  We have our own procedures for single wall butt fusion, dual wall butt fusion, and hydrostatic testing of HDPE.  Our procedures have been approved by our nuclear clients and have been used Ato install thousands of feet of HDPE in the nuclear industry.
