ERA: Guarding the Surge of "Water and Electricity" in the Heat of the ZheBA Battles

From the powerful call of "Promoting sports activities and improving the people's health" to the establishment of the "National Fitness Day," and then to "Engaging 300 million people in winter sports"... sports are integrating into the daily lives of 1.4 billion Chinese people with unprecedented breadth and depth, becoming an indispensable part of a healthy and better life.

Following the nationwide popularity of "Village BA" and "Jiangsu Provincial Urban Football League", the 2025 Zhejiang Provincial Urban Basketball League (hereinafter referred to as "ZheBA") has powerfully taken the baton, igniting a new wave of mass sports enthusiasm.

Twenty-two top teams from across the province will compete in multiple iconic venues – including Jiaxing University Gymnasium, Lishui Sports Center Gymnasium, Wenzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, the gymnasium in Quzhou College of Technology, Huzhou Changxing Sports Center Gymnasium, Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, Fuyang Gymnasium, and Jiaojiang Gymnasium – charging towards the championship glory.

A large-scale event of this magnitude relies on stable and reliable facility support, especially the "invisible guardianship" of water supply, sewage discharge, and power systems.

As a provider of pipeline system solutions, ERA silently supports the smooth transmission of every flow of water and electricity, contributing to this grand event that covers, involves, and is shared by all.

01 Stable Water Supply, Nourishing Every Passion

During the event, water demand in the venues surges dramatically: athlete showers, spectator drinking water, and venue cleaning all rely heavily on ample water supply. How to ensure efficient and safe water supply

ERA PPR water supply pipes provide a textbook answer. Made from high-quality PPR raw materials, these pipes fully comply with national drinking water hygiene standards and possess excellent corrosion resistance, creep resistance, and high mechanical strength. Even during peak usage and under severe water pressure fluctuations, they maintain stable and efficient water transmission performance, providing a continuous "source of life" for the event.

02 Efficient Drainage, Keeping the Arena Fresh

Facing a similar test alongside the water supply system is the venue's drainage and sewage capacity. A major event can generate thousands of tons of domestic sewage and wastewater. In case of rainfall, combined sewer flow further challenges the pipeline network's performance.

The combination of ERA PVC-U Drainage Pipes and PVC-U Underground Sewer Pipes solves these problems with outstanding performance. The former resists chemical corrosion and aging, ensuring long-term stable system operation. They are lightweight, environmentally friendly, lead-free, non-toxic, have lower overall cost compared to cast iron pipes, and offer easier installation and maintenance. The latter utilizes R-type rubber ring joints for reliable seepage prevention. Meanwhile, the smooth inner and outer walls of the pipes not only provide strong settlement resistance and low flow resistance but also significantly enhance drainage efficiency, ensuring smoother drainage and sewage disposal.

03 Power Conduits, Illuminating Every Brilliant Moment

When the buzzer-beater swishes through the net, as the arena lights flash, the big screens update in real-time, and the live broadcast signal transmits to millions of households, it is ERA PVC-U electrical conduits silently protecting the underground cable network.

These conduits possess excellent electrical insulation properties and high ring stiffness, capable of withstanding voltages over 10 kV, effectively resisting external electromagnetic interference and soil pressure, ensuring precise and stable power transmission. Their unique insect-proof and flame-retardant properties add an extra layer of protection, eliminating the risk of insect or rodent damage and ensuring fail-safe power supply for the event.

From bustling commercial districts to community sports corners, from professional venues to vibrant campuses, the "ZheBA," composed of "grassroots players," is driving a passion for sports in Zhejiang and across the country. And the guardianship of ERA extends to even broader scenarios: whether for the pipeline networks of the National Stadium and Haikou Wuyuanhe Sports Square, the electrical supporting facilities for the Shanghai Zhujiajiao Town Shenxiang Community Sports Center, or the outdoor projects of the Greater Xi'an Cultural and Sports Functional Zone, ERA, with its systematic, high-standard pipeline solutions, ensures worry-free flow, becoming a vital link connecting sports and public well-being.

In the future, ERA will continue to focus on technological innovation, using reliable products to support the people's aspirations for a better life.
