Extreme Weather Won’t Stop Pipe Fusion Pipeline projects can be delayed significantly or completely shut down due to severe weather. With McElroy Manufacturing’s new QuickCamp™ System , those obstacles are a thing of the past. The QuickCamp System allows op- erators to butt fuse polyethylene pipe from 8- to 36-inch OD (outside diameter), day or night, within a lighted, insulated, climate-controlled enclosure when con- ditions are too wet, windy, hot, or cold to fuse pipe outdoors. A single operator can load and align pipe by remote control from inside the shelter with the MegaMc ® PolyHorse ® , allowing for increased productivity - even in bad weather. The heated and air-conditioned QuickCamp Shelter protects the fusion joint from the elements and keeps the operator comfortable and focused on the work at hand. The system also makes it easier to fuse in accordance with stan- dards which require special provisions when butt fusing in sub-zero weather, and it is a vast improvement over com- mon provisions such as tents, hot air devices, and heating blankets. It can be set up easily and quickly by two people, with enough extra space inside for an office, breakroom, or storage; and it also includes electrical outlets.
