NIRON piping system was installed in Nevada Clark County for Southern Desert Correctional Center. Located in Clark County, just north of Las Vegas, Southern Desert Correctional Center opened in February 1982. The department's fourth major institution has seven 102-cell housing units, one of which housed federal prisoners until the state took it over in 1987. Each 60-square foot cell housed one inmate at that time. A new 200-cell housing unit opened in 1989, and two 240-bed dormitory-style housing units were added in March 2008, bringing the population capacity from 714 in 1982 to its present capacity of 2,149. Southern Desert Correctional Center offers a wide range of programs for the inmate population and an opportunity to pursue a high school equivalency (GED), high school diploma or a college degree. The education department also offers a Culinary Arts vocational program. Southern Desert offers many psycho-educational programs for the inmate population. There is also a re-entry program to prepare inmates for reintegration back into the community. .The NIRON range, particularly suitable for use in large buildings and for industrial installations ensures high mechanical resistance and duration, even at high temperatures and pressures. NIRON has become a recognized and trustworthy product range and has already been installed in various schools, colleges, hospitals, senior housing buildings, apartment buildings and industrial plants where safety and efficiency are of primary importance.
