It's (almost) the moment you've been waiting for: TOMORROW, June 15, we'll be announcing our GRAND CHAMPIONS OF FUSION for 2026! These five individuals have won an all-expenses-paid trip to in Tulsa, and we couldn't be more excited to have them here.

In the meantime, check out this great photo shared by ICONIX Waterworks of an ongoing HDPE project in Thornbury, Ontario. This job features a 24-inch DR11 sewer force main pipe and fittings. The ICONIX team has installed about 1km (.6 miles) of pipe to date, including 80 butt fusion joints, 12 elbows, and three flanges.

ICONIX says it best: "With additional pipe now on site and more fusion work still to come, this multi-million-dollar infrastructure project continues to showcase the precision, planning, and technical expertise required for successful HDPE installations.

"From controlled fusion procedures to dependable, leak-free joints, this project highlights the long-term performance and reliability HDPE systems are known for, supporting critical infrastructure with confidence."

Even before its official release, the DataLogger® 7 was making waves in the field. Les Klaudt, founder of Fusion Technologies, Inc. had the opportunity to test the tablet before its launch in fall 2020 - and he came away impressed.

Are you the kind of designer who can look at a blank screen (or a pile of pipe) and instantly see the system it could become? Do you love turning complex challenges into clean, manufacturable, field‑ready solutions? If you’re energized by hands‑on engineering, cross‑team collaboration, and designing systems that actually get built — not just filed away — we want you on our team.

We’re looking for a Mechanical Piping Designer who’s ready to take the lead on designing fusible thermoplastic piping systems and custom mechanical assemblies for industrial, municipal, energy, and mission‑critical applications. This is a role where your creativity meets real‑world impact.
