To address external corrosion on a 14-inch high-pressure gas transmission line, the HydraWrap® Structural Composite Repair System was employed, using four layers of carbon fiber to repair areas with significant wall loss. The process involved grit blasting the pipe surface, applying an epoxy primer, and then wrapping it with saturated HydraWrap® carbon fiber to restore and extend the pipe’s service life.

Previously this 42″ pipe had been lined but now portions of the liner had begun to break away from the pipe. With HydraTite installed, the pipe will be guarded against infiltration for a lifetime.
 
 
This pipe was too small to send one of our technicians in to install our HydraTite seals, but HydraLock was successfully applied remotely using mechanical packers.

Corrosion had compromised these two carbon steel vertical digester mixing pipes at a water treatment facility. Thanks to HydraWrap, the leaks were eliminated and the pipes were given new strength. The entire application was completed in only five days with a crew of four people.

A 120-inch distribution pipe at a water pump station had five aging joints, two of which were leaking due to severe separation. The issue was resolved by applying concrete grout to all joints and installing HydraTite seals on the leaking ones during a five-day shutdown, completing the work in only three days.

Pipes have been vital to infrastructure since the ancient Minoans installed underground systems around 2700 BCE, with traditional maintenance involving costly excavation until the 20th century introduced trenchless technologies like sliplining, grouting, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), pipe bursting, and internal pipe joint seals, each offering unique benefits and limitations. The trenchless repair market, currently valued at $4.12 billion and projected to grow to $6.48 billion by 2030, is dominated by CIPP (46.7% share) with ongoing innovations like UV curing and AI-driven failure prediction poised to further transform the industry.
 
 
The HydraWrap® Composite System is a combination of high performance epoxies and custom-made carbon fiber fabric. This combination produces a noncorrosive structural repair that is easily installed and conforms to various shapes and sizes.

Burnout is a common problem at work. If employers don’t minimize burnout it can dramatically reduce the productivity of their workforce.

Extra-Wide HydraTite Seal installed over a pipe joint, 'Restoring A Stromwater Pipeline, Quickly & Effectively'

A steel mill faced contamination in its stormwater pipeline due to compromised joints allowing debris and contaminants to infiltrate, prompting the use of a trenchless solution, extra-wide HydraTite seals. After cleaning debris and installing 66 seals over three weeks, the joints were fortified against leaks, eliminating contaminant infiltration in a cost-effective and time-efficient manner.

A sanitary pipe that has been wrapped in carbon fiber fabric, 'Wrapping A Pipe Despite A Wet Environment'

HydraTite was used to rehabilitate 13 joints in this century-old pipe quickly and efficiently. The pipe was dewatered, the interior surface was smoothed out with concrete, and the seals were installed over the joints. The seals were air-tested and adjusted as needed. The entire project was wrapped up in 8 days.

Transparent square that is used to maintain proportions

A couple of people came down from Alaska to learn about our HydraTite Internal Pipe Joint Seal and how it can be installed to eliminate infiltration. They were here to get certified on the installation process so as a contractor they could install HydraTite in Alaska, a state that HydraTech has not done extensive work in.

A sanitary pipe that has been wrapped in carbon fiber fabric, 'Wrapping A Pipe Despite A Wet Environment'

The supports below a 54” RCP suspended outfall sanitary pipe failed and the pipe collapsed. Despite lifting the pipe back into the proper position, the joint continued to leak. Initially, a clamp was applied to the joint but the owners wanted to fortify this repair. They called us to apply our HydraWrap with the subsea epoxy to rehabilitate this pipe.
