This summer HydraTech completed one of our largest projects yet. During our time in Buffalo, New York we installed nearly a thousand HydraTite seals in the cast-iron pipes below the city. Most of the HydraTite seals were manufactured for pipes that were 60 inch, 48 inch, or 36 inch in diameter.

Calcium build-up and mortar had to be removed from some of the joints so that the HydraTite seal could be properly installed. As previously mentioned in our blog, there were also abandoned lines that were sealed during the project. First, a steel backing plate was placed over the unused opening and then a HydraTite seal was installed over that.

The project was completed in phases, so we were not active in Buffalo the entire time, but the project was completed a year and a half after we started.
