We’ve gotten some great entries so far in this year’s Champions of Fusion contest! These entries were received during February 2026.

First, let’s congratulate our MONTHLY SWAG BAG winner, Troy Norum!

Three workers in safety gear operate pipe fusion equipment at a construction site. Text reads CHAMPION, Troy Norum Delta, B.C., Champions of Fusion 2026, and features McElroy and Champions of Fusion logos.

Troy was called to the city of Delta, British Columbia after a barge hit a swing bridge and damaged a water main. His employer was called to fuse pipe and drag the pipe with a truck from the other side of the river.

During the project, Troy and others in his crew had two machines running all day!

Congratulations, Troy!

Our other monthly entries were:
