HydraWrap® (Fiber Reinforced Polymer)

Market
Water Treatment Plant

Challenge
A section of piping that was immersed in a treatment tank had several deteriorated areas that required repair.

Engineered Solution
The solution utilized the HydraWrap® Structural Composite Repair System, as well as the HydraTite® NSF61 8001 Waterline Epoxy.

Scope
The customer requested that the pipe system be reinforced and brought back to its original design condition and that the repair be made with a very quick turnaround.

Solution
The HydraWrap® composite repair was designed to reinforce an 8″ diameter carbon steel supply pipe with a maximum design pressure of 90 psi. The design of the HydraWrap® was based on limiting the strain in the composite repair to the allowable strains recommended by ASME. After applying the HydraWrap® system to the pipe, the composite repair was top coated with HydraTech’s NSF61 8001 Waterline epoxy. The project took less than a week to complete.
