With our 35+ years in the industry, DRTS is continuously innovating solutions to improve our machines and products. One of our greatest partners in this ongoing endeavor are our loyal clients who provide a steady feed of ideas for improvements. One such collaboration has created the DRTS Hybrid PE Pipe Haul-Off/Puller When building a production line, the rule of thumb is, build the equipment to fit the largest product diameter. Meaning, for example, if the PE pipe production line is for pipes from 20-110mm, we optimize the production line to accommodate the largest size pipe (in this case 110m ..read more

Water and gas supply are the two most common purposes of a pipeline network in any country. Typically, natural gas transportation relies heavily on underground pipes buried deep in the soil, However, the pipe infrastructure has been in use for many decades in many regions and is aging faster posing severe dangers to human life and climate. For instance, a ruptured pipeline is believed to be the primary cause of a series of gas explosions that occurred in Taiwan in the year 2014, taking the lives of at least 25 people.  On the other hand, to ensure a clean water supply and easy maintenance ..read more
