Leaks at the joints of a wastewater treatment facility’s pipe were causing structural and air quality issues. The HydraTite seal was used to stop infiltration, ensuring the facility’s integrity, and the repair was completed in under a week, proving cost-effective over replacing or lining the pipe. 
 
 
A large concrete box culvert under heavy water flow needed a long-term repair for spalling and cracks without disrupting traffic. The repair involved injecting epoxy and polyurethane into the cracks, applying trowel mortar to spall areas, and restoring the culvert in a month, ensuring stability and preventing future deterioration at a low cost.

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.

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