Week 10:

 Week 10:

This week I focused more on getting my final presentation ready to go, since I will be presenting it on Monday. I practiced with coworkers to get familiar with my slides and what all I need to cover. Wednesday we got to go on a plant tour of Crestline in Mechanicsburg PA. We got to tour the plant and see all of the products that they made. We also got to see the process from pellets to fine dust then to pipe. Seeing how the machines worked to make the pipe and then cool it and write the info on each pipe was also interesting. We also got to see how the machine adds gaskets to the pipe as it is being made the gasket is almost built into the pipe and melted into it.

 Week 2: In week two I was still in the warehouse learning the products. This week I also got to get out of the office and warehouse and I got to experience a vault-setting water meter. This experience by far was very interesting to see, I also learned that LB Water Ebensburg is the only location to make vaults. The vault market is very big and LB Water Ebensburg also is the only location to make meter pits which are in high demand. So this was an experience that I got to watch that not a lot of people get to see every day. The purpose of these vaults is to protect the water meter systems and to allow authorities to read and repair water meter services with easy access, there are many different types, sizes, and configurations that are used.
