A thru-wall leak had developed from corrosion in a 12-foot-long section of pipe. Replacement would be costly and time-consuming. HydraWrap proved to be the superior solution.
 
 
Infiltration at the joints threatened the integrity of this box-shaped concrete pipe, but our crew of only 3 people was able to eliminate the leaks quickly. HydraTech’s techs proved they mean business, installing 17 seals in only 8 onsite days.

During the Cold War, a secret program saw the creation of a bunker under the Greenbrier resort. During efforts to preserve this relic of the past, leaks were discovered in the air supply lines. HydraTite was vital to ensure that this historic facility would not be altered while the leaks were sealed.

Our in-house manufacturing capabilities took a big step forward when we added a plasma table to our shop. After two years, it has gotten a lot of use. It is mostly used to make parts for the HydraTite seal such as custom corner forms.
 
 
Have you discovered leaks while away from port? This emergency repair kit can restore maximum allowable operating pressure without any hot work. Check out the Marine HydraWrap Kit in this video.

Biologically influenced corrosion had resulted in leaks in this elevated trestle pipe. We custom-manufactured a HydraTite seal to eliminate leaks in this system despite the irregular shape of the pipe.

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.
 
 
HydraLock offers trenchless rehabilitation for pipes that are too small for man-entry. This internal seal is installed with a mechanical packer. This repair method can extend the service life of your pipes that don’t need to be replaced.

Marine HydraWrap was applied to this system despite the repair being in a confined area. The repair only took an hour and the leak was eliminated.
 
 
HydraTech has been busy traveling all over the country to give HydraTite demonstrations. We want people to know there is a trenchless repair method that will outlast grout.

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.
 
 
We are all getting ready for OTEC. Will we see you there? We will be at booth 641.

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.

HydraTech exhibited at OTEC again this year, showcasing all the applications HydraTite and HydraLock have in the transportation industry. We spoke with various ODOT personnel and emphasized our internal pipe joint sealing contract we have with ODOT.

In a recent project, HydraTech’s crew climbed into two culverts to install HydraTite Internal Pipe Joint Seals over every pipe joint. One location had a single 54″ culvert and the other was a triple 39.5″ culvert. In total 45 joints were sealed. This installation will guard against infiltration and will help protect the road above from the formation of sinkholes.

A water pollution district discovered infiltration with a camera inspection. They chose HydraTite as there trenchless solution that could be installed without the pipes being taken out of service.

In this project, 5 HydraTite seals were installed to address leaking at a water treatment plant. 4 of these seals were installed entirely underwater. Two divers installed the seals and each seal was installed in 1 to 2 days. The leaks were eliminated and the facility has had success using this repair method on other joints that were not in the scope of this project as well.

A water treatment plant discovered leaking joints in their influent pipes and basins that were part of the filtered water conduit. These systems were structurally sound but compromised at the joints. HydraTite provided a targeted repair that could be installed without the system being dewatered.

This is one of our more simple jobs. There are only circular seals with only two retaining bands each and the job site has easy access to the culvert. Because our regular field crew was out on another assignment Will Blais was the project manager and I was asked to assist. To round out our team, my brother Jesse joined us.

HydraTite installed over a pipe joint, 'Addressing High Head Pressure'

The plastic ADS had developed leaks due to the high head pressure. Extra-wide seals were installed with an additional retaining band to address the leaking joints.

Inspection of a cast-in-place conduit from the early 1920s revealed 13 joints in poor condition, three of which had developed active leaks. HydraTite seals successfully eliminated the leaks and fortified the other joints against the formation of future leaks.
