Fast Structural Reinforcement of Cooling Water Line

HydraWrap Case Study

November 11th, 2025

In this video, we walk through a real-world marine piping repair where a vessel’s cooling water supply line began leaking at fittings downstream of the supply pumps. Temporary clamps and patching had already been tried — but ongoing leaks and difficult access made full replacement costly and time-consuming.

To solve this, the crew used HydraTech’s ABS Design Approved Marine HydraWrap® Structural Composite Repair System. Marine HydraWrap® is a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite wrap that restores structural integrity to damaged or thinning marine piping without cutting out or replacing the pipe.

Project Highlights:
Pipe Material: CuNiFe (Copper-Nickel-Iron)
Repair Locations: 24″ x 18″ Tee and 18″ Elbow
Work Performed By: Vessel’s own crew, supervised by HydraTech
Completed in one working day

The Marine HydraWrap® system provides long-term structural reinforcement and corrosion protection for marine pipelines, ballast tanks, and ship piping systems. This highly customizable solution comes in multiple kit sizes to fit a wide range of emergency and planned repairs, keeping vessels in service with minimal downtime.

HydraTech specializes in trenchless repair solutions for aging infrastructure:
• Sealing separated or offset pipe joints with HydraTite®
• Strengthening bridges with fiberwrap systems
• Cleaning and paving deteriorated culverts with field paving
