HydraWrap can be applied as a structural repair on many different pipe sizes and fittings. This video showcases different applications, some of which go beyond pipes.
 
 
On 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.

In only two days, HydraTech installed this large-diameter seal and prolonged the service life of this pipe for a fraction of the time and cost associated with replacement.

It was discovered that one joint on this project was so severely separated, that the double-wide HydraTite seal would not be able to bridge the gap. HydraWrap was applied to the interior of the pipe over this joint.
 
 
Many of the joints in this culvert were separated and had offset, but HydraTite was able to bridge the gap and seal the 10 compromised joints.

Corrosion had compromised these two carbon steel vertical digester mixing pipes. Thanks to HydraWrap, the leaks were eliminated and the pipes were given new strength.

In the project depicted here, over 20 HydraTite seals were installed in stormwater pipe in Georgia. These extra-wide seals were 60″ in diameter. After the success of this project, a follow up installation involved sealing 3 additional joints.
 
 
In this blog post, one of our field technicians gives an overview of this project in which over 50 HydraTite Internal Pipe Joint Seals were installed.

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.

A newly installed 24″ cement mortar drinking water pipe with mechanically restrained joints leaked when pressure-tested. HydraTite was installed, eliminating the need to replace the entire length of brand-new leaking piping.
 
 
An inspection of a cast-in-place conduit from the early 1920s revealed 3 active leaks. This pipe was approximately 90″ in diameter and was not perfectly concentric, incorporating a slightly flattened invert. HydraTite functioned as a quick solution that would cause minimal disturbance and downtime.
 
 
Let’s make 2025 an even better year than 2024!
 
In many instances, we suggest installing our HydraTite seals instead of grout, but in some instances, it is not a case of either or. This project is an example of a project where HydraTite was installed in tandem with grout.

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.

A sanitary pipe that has been wrapped in carbon fiber fabric, 'Wrapping A Pipe Despite A Wet Environment'

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.

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.
