A couple of people came down from Alaska to learn about our HydraTite Internal Pipe Joint Seal and how it can be installed to eliminate infiltration. They were here to get certified on the installation process so as a contractor they could install HydraTite in Alaska, a state that HydraTech has not done extensive work in.
The supports below a 54” RCP suspended outfall sanitary pipe failed and the pipe collapsed. Despite lifting the pipe back into the proper position, the joint continued to leak. Initially, a clamp was applied to the joint but the owners wanted to fortify this repair. They called us to apply our HydraWrap with the subsea epoxy to rehabilitate this pipe.
A county’s sanitation department discovered that a 12” steel pipe was leaking in their wastewater wet well. They applied our HydraWrap so that they could quickly put their pipe back in service.
Many businesses encounter cyclical highs and lows, where some months are bustling with activity, others are notably quieter. How a company manages these slower periods can significantly impact its long-term success. In last month’s newsletter, Caleb discusses various ways to make use of your time during the slow months.
Two vertical digester pipes had developed leaks due to corrosion. The water treatment facility chose to restore these pipes with our HydraWrap system.
In a recent blog post Jennifer shares a few words about our company Christmas party. Between Caleb and herself the event was well documented with pictures.
Three culverts had soil infiltrating their joints. HydraTite was installed as preventative maintenance to avoid the formation of sinkholes.
Thanks to HydraWrap, the leaks were eliminated from these two vertical digester pipes. The pipes were given new strength, and the application will provide a layer of protection against future corrosion.
Severe external corrosion was threatening the integrity of an 8 inch gas main that ran through a hotel basement. In only two days, HydraWrap rehabilitated 18 feet of this gas main at a fraction of the cost and time associated with replacement.
There is always a lot to do at HydraTech, so it is nice to slow down for a little bit and have lunch together. This year we had pizza rather than soup.
There are direct consequences to the water supply when invasive species are introduced to a habitat. A few good example of this can be seen in Canada with many invasive species such as European common reeds, goldfish, and water hyacinth.
HydraTech is always training and retraining its crew. In this blog, Caleb Rutledge recounts the HydraWrap demonstration the field crew participated in to prepare them for an upcoming fiber wrap application on a pair of vertical digester pipes.
17 HydraTite box seals were installed in a storm drain sump. A small crew was able to rehabilitate this system’s joints in only 7 onsite days.
