Dresser Utility Solutions
Leading the Charge in Wastewater Infrastructure Revitalization

Dresser Utility Solutions, a leading provider of measurement, instrumentation, piping solutions, and overpressure protection devices, plays a critical role in influencing infrastructure renewal initiatives. Since its founding, Dresser has been deeply involved in the evolution of vital infrastructure during the 1930s, 1950s, 1960s, and 1980s— periods marked by substantial population growth.

For more than 140 years, the company has established a reputation in the pipe coupling and piping products industry through their commitment to advancing infrastructure development. Over the years, Dresser has become the original and most trusted name in pipe joining and repair. Its prominence is such that people started referring to pipe couplings as a “dresser coupling,” regardless of the manufacturer. Today, as they navigate the challenges of aging facilities, Dresser remains dedicated to innovating and adapting its offerings to meet the evolving wastewater treatment requirements.

A significant milestone in the company’s journey unfolded with the acquisition of Total Piping Solutions (TPS), which revitalized its presence in the water and wastewater market while expanding their capabilities and product line. Much like Dresser, TPS has established a reputation for providing reliable and easily installed piping products.

“The contributions we made to America’s infrastructure for wastewater treatment plants and water distribution networks during the crucial period(s) of growth highlights our enduring commitment to the sector,” says Jolie Newpher, senior business development manager, water sector at Dresser Utility Solutions.

The company specializes in product design for pipeline repair and rehabilitation, offering customized solutions for both old and new piping systems.This aligns with the recent increase in government and municipal initiatives, highlighting the necessity to upgrade wastewater treatment plants. These initiatives strive to adhere to the required wastewater treatment standards through repairs, refurbishments, and modernization efforts.
For instance, wastewater facilities are being modernized by replacing aging infrastructure, and Dresser provides the products needed to give operators and utilities the flexibility to make these modifications to their piping systems while keeping them in regulatory compliance.

Dresser offers a broad suite of products to accommodate these infrastructural demands, ranging from 2 – 120” and beyond. This versatility enables the firm to use its products in a wide range of scenarios, facilitating inventory management and ensuring adaptability to diverse infrastructure needs. The company’s commitment to precision and reliability during product manufacturing also ensures they stand the test of time.

Products are designed with the operator in mind, including ease of installation and track record of dependability. Dresser’s products minimize the possibility of errors during setup, effectively bridging the knowledge gap between experienced and new operators. In addition, most of its products are manufactured in the US, notably in Bradford, Pennsylvania, where it has been operating for over a century. The decision to manufacture locally aligns with regulatory requirements like the American Iron and Steel Act, which compels domestic manufacturers to meet rigorous quality standards.

“Our track record speaks volumes, with many installations featuring Dresser couplings remaining in service for decades,” adds Joe Tarszowicz, VP and General Manager of Dresser. The enduring reliability of the company’s products ensures unparalleled customer satisfaction, especially amidst shifting climates and evolving infrastructure demands.

The extreme weather fluctuations demands for durable, high-quality products that will last another 100 years. Dresser leverages its extensive experience across numerous applications and continuously provides reliable solutions to its customers. Despite the complexities of wastewater management, Dresser remains focused on quality, reliability, and customer service. By partnering with Dresser, the industry can ensure sustained excellence in the years to come.
