Meet PICA at the AZ Water 99th Anual Conference & Exhibition 2026 | April 28–30 | Phoenix, Arizona

PICA Corp is pleased to announce our participation in the AZ Water Conference & Exhibition 2026, taking place April 28–30, 2026, at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Hosted annually by the Arizona Water Association, this event is recognized as one of the most important gatherings for water and wastewater professionals in the Southwest, bringing together engineers, utility operators, asset managers, researchers, regulators, and industry innovators committed to advancing Arizona’s water future.

With increasing pressure on aging infrastructure, growing population demands, and the unique challenges of Arizona’s climate, the AZ Water Conference provides vital expertise, education, and networking to help water professionals deliver safe, reliable water services. PICA is proud to stand alongside the region’s top experts and contribute to the ongoing discussion about sustainable water infrastructure and proactive pipeline condition assessment.

Why Visit PICA at AZ Water 2026?

Pipelines across Arizona—whether for drinking water, wastewater, reclaimed water, or industrial use—face corrosion, soil-driven deterioration, pressure cycles, and aging materials that can lead to unexpected failures. PICA’s mission is to help utilities find hidden defects before they become emergencies, while keeping pipelines in service during inspection.

At the PICA booth, attendees will learn how to:

Use Advanced NDT technologies to inspect water mains, wastewater force mains, industrial pipelines, and large-diameter transmission systems.

Detect corrosion, wall thinning, leaks, gas pockets, and structural defects with high accuracy—even through mortar, epoxy, or rubber linings.

Incorporate condition data into risk-based asset management planning, helping utilities avoid major failures and budget more effectively.

Apply multi-sensor acoustic spheres, electromagnetic tools, and internal robotic inspection technologies to Arizona’s unique environmental and operational challenges.

Whether your system includes aging PCCP, ductile iron, steel, HDPE, or lined pipelines, PICA’s technologies provide the clarity utilities need to make confident, data-driven decisions.

How PICA Supports Arizona’s Water Infrastructure

Arizona’s water utilities must operate with extreme reliability due to the Region’s climate pressures, rapid development, and large transmission systems. PICA’s non-destructive testing (NDT) solutions support these needs with:

High-accuracy inspection of PCCP, DIP, CIP, steel, HDPE, and lined pipes

Acoustic leak detection for live, pressurized pipelines

Structural condition analysis for transmission mains

Data-driven reporting that supports risk prioritization

Minimal service interruption during inspections

By combining advanced technology with decades of experience, PICA helps Arizona’s utilities avoid major failures, extend asset life, and improve operational resilience.
