Ensuring Bison Continue To Receive Water

Market

Private, Livestock – Bison Ranch

Challenge

A ranch in Idaho discovered a leak in its irrigation system. With this system dysfunctional, the ranch employees costly temporary methods to transport the water to the bison. Every day the system was down more money was wasted.

Engineered Solution

To repair this ADS irrigation pipe, HydraTech provided HydraTite, a solution that can be installed quickly and is cost-effective.

Scope

Access to the repair location was limited by a 45-degree bend within the pipe. HydraTech manufactured a custom band size with a multi-piece configuration to accommodate the 45-degree bend. HydraTech’s technicians successfully installed the seal despite access being restricted as they specialize in confined space installations. In only a few days the pipe was operational again.
