HDPE Partitions Upgrade San Diego Pier
HDPE was an integral part of the upgrades to the Port Pavilion in San Diego, CA, USA. Constructed in little less than 15 months, the two-story terminal can accommodate up to 2,600 cruise ship passengers while offering the amenities of the Port's first Leadership in Energy & Environment Design (LEED)-certified building. HDPE was selected for the project because it will never rust and can resist dents, scratches, graffiti, corrosion, mildew and moisture. It can be easily cleaned and will not delaminate.
