UGT's Cost Savings

HDPE Ring Comparison

The table below shows cost analysis of the UGT system vs. (HDPE .. Plastic) rings. The table looks at only ring cost for each height. The cost were based on published suggested retail pricing.

Height Achieved w/o Cutting Ring

The results show that for the cross sample of heights, UGT can hit every height while the HDPE rings can only acheive the height 49% of the time without special cutting in the field.

Cost Savings by Height

The results show for the cross sample of heights, HDPE is only more cost effective 24% of the time.
