A 72” storm drain in Texas had recently been installed but failed a pressure test. Thanks to HydraTite, every joint in this storm drain was fortified against leaks in only 9 days.
Glass reinforced pipe (GRP) had previously been sliplined in a section of a 102” diameter prestressed concrete cylinder pipe (PCCP). HydraTite functioned as a termination seal to fortify this aqueduct’s transition from the 102” PCCP to the 90” GRP.
These two HydraTite seals were installed at the elbow in a large-diameter pipe. The 108″ and 120″ diameter seals required scaffolding for installation. Once everything was ready, the installation of both was completed in only about 4 hours. This case study details how HydraTite and HydraWrap were used to rehabilitate this pipe with only a small crew of four people.
The initial installation of a 106” by 68” elliptical tunnel showed active infiltration at the joints. The pipe was new so replacement was not considered. HydraTite was the trenchless remediation chosen to avoid disrupting the road above.
In this blog post, one of our field technicians gives an overview of this project in which over 50 HydraTite Internal Pipe Joint Seals are being installed.
Four years later Mike Albert shows Caleb Rutledge around a couple of field invert paving jobs HydraTech had completed. After inspection, it is clear the concrete is as resilient as we expected it to be. It looks just like we left it four years ago.
Recently, HydraTech exhibited at the Ohio Stormwater Conference. Jennifer Williams and Caleb Rutledge educated attendees on the benefits of internal pipe joint seals.
HydraTech personnel traveled to Canada to oversee this HydraTite installation in a drinking water pipe. The entire installation was completed in a short workday.
Did you read our May newsletter? We discuss how wastewater has gone through rigorous treatment, yielding drinking water.
Caleb’s position has shifted a good deal over the years at HydraTech. In this recent blog post, he recaps some of the roles he has played in helping the company succeed.
This extensive rehabilitation project, HydraWrap was applied to nearly 100 repair points. Our flexible composite repair system was used to stop leaks in elbows, tee fittings, flanges, and straight portions of pipes.
A new school was being built in Iowa atop pipes laid in 1937. In very little time, these two pipelines were fortified against infiltration and prepared for the anticipated increase in use with HydraTite seals.
A pipe rehabilitation project for MnDOT involved sealing 4 joints in 48″ and 72″ drainage pipes. The project was completed with only two crew members.
