Engineered Solution

HydraTech provided three HydraTite Internal Pipe Joint Seals manufactured with a 54” diameter.

Scope

One of the three sections of pipe made a 20-foot drop and was only accessible by narrow stairs. First, the surface of the pipe near the joints was prepped to ensure a smooth surface for installation. The rubber was then put in position and the stainless steel bands were expanded to lock the rubber in place.
