The Building & Construction Division, commonly referred to as "BCD" is focused on plastic pressure pipe and tubing systems used within buildings and on building premises for applications such as plumbing, water service, fire protection, hydronic heating and cooling, snow and ice melting and ground source geothermal piping systems. Additional applications used in commercial construction include chilled water piping, pre-insulated pipes for district energy, and field heating/turf conditioning.

MISSION: Improving the quality of life today and for generations to come by championing the advancement, acceptance, and use of sustainable and resilient plastic pipe systems in plumbing and mechanical applications.

BCD MATERIALS

While HDPE piping systems are used in all PPI divisions, BCD focuses on the use of HDPE piping for ground source heat pump applications (outdoor ground heat exchangers and indoor piping), district energy systems, and other hydronic applications included in model mechanical codes. For other applications of HDPE piping systems (e.g., water, gas, conduit), please refer to other PPI Divisions.
