Bio

William "Bill" Haines, P.E. has over 30 years of experience in specification and engineering design experience. Mr. Haines began his piping career in traditional piping materials (steel, concrete, prestressed pipe). Our interest in joining the IDEA association is to connect with industry professionals who are interested in using High Temperature HDPE pipe (PE-RT).  We have worked on several large HDPE pipe projects for the district heating industry (Both Hot and Chilled water applications) including Harvard University, Tufts University, and Clarkson.  Mr. Haines is a past President of the Northeast Trenchless Association. He is also a member of WEF/NEWEA and ASCE. Mr. Haines has pioneered the use of large diameter HDPE pipe for underground foul air systems (odor control) and is recognized as an expert in this field within North America. He supervised the design of several deep burial (up to 82') 120" pump stations. These HDPE structures are thought to be the largest ever designed and installed in North America. Mr. Haines has worked tirelessly to educate end users and engineers on the virtues of HDPE materials during the last two decades. Mr. Haines has an MBA along with a Civil Engineering degree and is licensed in several states.
