How is the Ball and Socket River Crossing Joint Assembled?

While many of the applications for Ball and Socket pipe have been supplanted by developments in Horizontal Directional Drilling technology, when your project requires joint deflection up to 15 degrees, you'll be glad you know about Ball and Socket Ductile Iron pipe. It is also often called River Crossing pipe, because that is one application where the joint has excelled. Because of its extreme deflection ability, the joint can be assembled on shore or on a barge and then gently lowered to the river bottom. In this video we see the process of how this achievement of engineering is assembled.
