The Irving, Texas-based Plastic Pipe Institute renamed its Conduit Division to the Power & Communications Division (PCD). The reasoning behind the name change is the growth within the division, uses of conduit in rapidly developing applications and to reflect the types of solutions that high-density polyethylene conduit can provide.
The PCD focuses on educating specifiers, end users and installers by providing expertise, technical reports, guides and manuals. It also is the industry liaison to government agencies and cooperates closely with standards development organizations such as UL, ASTM, NEMA and others.
