McWane Family of Companies
For generations, McWane has been a global leader in water distribution and infrastructure that are integral to the function and development of plumbing and clean water works systems throughout the world. Today, we are expanding our product lines to meet the needs for safe, long-lasting, environmentally friendly infrastructure, as well as technological advancements for our communities in the decades to come.
Ductile Iron Pipe
McWane, Inc.'s ductile iron pipe facilities make products that bring safe, clean water to our homes and businesses. Corrosion resistant, for longevity in water and sewage systems, and machinable, for ease in field modifications, ductile iron pipe surpasses its competitors in terms of durability, strength and ductility and is lighter and more cost-effective than cast iron. Ductile iron maintains a maximum margin of safety against service failures and provides a durable and reliable solution for utility systems.
Canada Pipe
McWane distributes ductile iron pipe products manufactured at its U.S. facilities to all of Canada through its Canada Pipe division.
McWane Coal
Located in Alabama, McWane Coal is the company’s natural resources division. It manages the mining of McWane's coal reserves producing both metallurgical and steam grade coals. In addition, it manages McWane's substantial timber plantations that supply the local paper and lumber industries.
McWane Ductile
The first McWane foundry, McWane Pipe, was organized in 1921 in Birmingham, Alabama. Today, McWane Ductile continues to supply ductile iron pipe used in water infrastructure found in cities across America.
Plumbing
Cast iron soil pipe made by McWane, Inc. facilities offers advantages such as strength, corrosion resistance and noise reduction that cannot be found in any other commercial piping. Cast iron pipes are also much quieter, muffling the noise from rushing wastewater more effectively than other options. Our pipe is strong enough to lie beneath building foundations and resistant to expansion and contraction caused by extreme temperatures. Iron pipes also possess superior fire safety qualities: they cannot burn; they do not produce toxic smoke in fires as some other products do; and they can be passed safely through firewalls. With high ring crushing loads, iron pipes can be buried or encased in concrete for decades of trouble-free service.
