Here at Wolf Creek, we pay close attention to the forecasts for hurricanes, tropical storms and other natural disasters that will require emergency portable piping products.

If you’ve been watching the headlines too, you know that 2024 Atlantic hurricane season has already arrived, and will last through November. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, we’re in for an “above average” hurricane season for 2024, with a predicted 17 to 25 named storms, eight to 13 hurricanes, and four to seven major hurricanes of Category 3 or higher.

If even a fraction of these hurricanes and storms come to fruition, municipalities of all sizes along the coasts will need to prepare for emergency water removal, and there’s little room for error.

Good news — Wolf Creek stands ready with the steel pipes, strainers, and hose connector sets necessary to move large quantities of water quickly and efficiently!

Here’s a look at some of the products our customers rely on for emergency water removal:

HDPE Poly Pipe & Pipe Racks

In anticipation of the hurricane surge, we’ve stocked up on a massive quantity of HDPE pipes to meet our customers’ needs for rapid water removal. Our PolyBarb HDPE pipes are lightweight and dependable, combining the quality of the Genuine Bauer Quick Coupler with the durability and versatility of HDPE pipe.

We can deliver HDPE pipe in bulk using our 18-foot pipe storage racks, which load onto a truck trailer for easy transport and convenient storage on the job site.

Hose Connector Sets

Extend the reach of your hoses when moving large volumes of water with Wolf Creek’s factory-welded and pressure-tested hose connector sets. Available in standard Genuine Bauer rolled form fittings (best for suction and discharge applications) or our Wolf Creek crimp fittings (best for crimping and high-pressure applications), our hose connector sets are built to withstand the toughest jobs.

Floating Strainers, Inline Basket-Type Strainers, and Diffusers

Moving water that’s accumulated due to a storm or hurricane can be messy work. Trash, building debris, and even animals often end up in flooded streets, sewer systems, ponds, and lakes. You don’t want these unwanted solid materials to clog up your pipes, hoses, and pumps, especially when time is of the essence.

Luckily, Wolf Creek has a range of strainer options to help you minimize wear and tear on your essential equipment. For sanitary sewer bypass suction and discharge applications, we recommend the Hunnebucket inline strainer to protect your valuable pumps. Now available in larger 10-inch sizes for large-volume fluid applications, the Hunnebucket is the basket-type strainer you can count on to capture all types of unwanted materials before they reach the pump.

When diverting water into a shallow lake or pond, we recommend our PolyBarb diffusers, which sit on the bottom and allow water to disperse slowly to prevent eroding the site.

Lastly, when you need to pull water out of a lake, pond, or stream, our PolyBarb Floating Tee Strainers are the strainer of choice. These t-shaped strainers float on top of the water and feature 2 ¼ inch-holes to prevent debris such as rocks and sticks from flowing through and damaging your pump equipment.
