The challenge was to stop infiltration at the pipe joints in a 27-in storm drain.

Engineered Solution

The proposed solution was HydraTite® 27-in standard wide EPDM rubber seals with two one-piece 304SS retaining bands.

Scope

Prior to installation, HydraTech removed the debris, earth and soil from the defective area of the storm drain. The restoration of the pipe included ten 27-in standard wide HydraTite® seals. The installation spanned two days.

Several HydraTite seals installed inside a long pipe

Solution

The HydraTite® Internal Joint Seal was selected as the long-term solution to eliminate infiltration and prevent ground settling.
