Merging Sustainability, Engineering, and Procurement to Foster Innovation

Reid, Carla A. / Tyson, Keith W. / Obodoako, Aloysius

This column discusses how the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission (WSSC) in Laurel, Md., recently changed its standard pipe material from ductile iron pipe (DIP) to zinc‐coated DIP. This change was recommended by the agency's engineering staff to continue to improve the sustainability of the utility into the next 100 years. WSSC now uses a unique approach combining its sustainability goals with field assessments and engineering expertise to inform procurement decisions.
