Spotlight On: Wyo-Ben

We are proud to spotlight NASTT’s No-Dig Show Silver Sponsor and Corporate Member, Wyo-Ben.

Wyo-Ben began with a partnership consisting of Keith Rockwood and Neal Brown, together with Barbara Brown Bixby and R.E. Dansby, who acquired mill property at Greybull, Wyoming and bentonite claims. Their partnership was carried on under the name of Wyo-Ben Products Co. In its first year of operation the company processed 15,000 tons of bentonite which was sold for rotary drilling and oil well cementing mud. Over the next six years its business grew steadily, supported by an expanding economy and a rapid increase in the growth of oil well drilling technology.

In the 1980’s, the oil well drilling and iron ore pelletizing business declined dramatically. Wyo-Ben suffered tremendous losses. The principals were forced to make a monumental decision; Try to stay in business or fold like so many other companies. Wyo-Ben redirected sales efforts and changed the character of the company. While withstanding innumerable hardships, Wyo-Ben slowly transformed into the strong, diversified company it is today.

One of the markets that Wyo-Ben moved into after the collapse of the oil well drilling and taconite pelletizing markets was that of groundwater. Wyo-Ben began research and development on a new bentonite product which would create a better method of abandoning seismic shot holes. The product, Enviroplug®, was the first commercially produced bentonite chip. Word spread and the product’s properties were applied to other industries, including water well. Wyo-Ben began supplying groundwater contractors with other bentonite products, including drilling mud and grouting materials. Recognizing the need in the marketplace for better distribution, Wyo-Ben partnered with existing wholesalers offering sole distributorships within areas.

Continually being responsive to demand in the market place, Wyo-Ben’s products quickly expanded into other industries including: water and mineral exploration, horizontal directional drilling, oil and gas exploration, caisson drilling and tunneling, environmental sealants and industrial waste water treatment.  A new suite of products was introduced, Cleartreat®, designed specifically for treating industrial waste water.

Spotlight On: Source One Environmental

We are proud to spotlight NASTT’s No-Dig Show Silver Sponsor, Source One Environmental.

In 2009 the Fernco Company, Source One Environmental (S1E), began with an idea, a product and a desire to provide innovative support to municipalities, contractors and plumbers in the water management and infrastructure rehabilitation markets. S1E was founded on the premise that infrastructure repair was a growing market, but needed inventive solutions. During this period, Fernco’s sister company Flexseal had developed a unique infrastructure repair application, better known as Pipe Doctor®. Pipe Doctor is a Cure-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) trenchless repair. Pipe Doctor was brought over to the U.S. market and put through rigorous testing; however, S1E needed a solution that would comply with U.S. codes and standards. We went to great lengths to engineer, upgrade and streamline what is today known as PipePatch®, a No-Dig trenchless pipe repair second to none.

The PipePatch line was initiated on the values of exceptional service and materials while reducing negative environmental factors through trenchless pipe solutions by not only solving infrastructure issues, but also providing on-sight consultations, training and education for professionals. Source One Environmental is committed to cultivating relationships with customers and strategic partners both locally and nationally to ensure successful repairs as they seek new and better ways to resolve tomorrow’s problems. Their dedication to quality, service and training within the water management and infrastructure rehabilitation markets sets them apart. This commitment to becoming the industry leader in the infrastructure rehabilitation markets keeps them humble.
