HydraTech delivered a customized HydraTite® Internal Pipe Joint Seal solution for a drinking water and irrigation system in Chile following the 2010 earthquake, which caused joint separations and persistent leakage in an 83 cm x 151 cm dual-arched aqueduct bridge despite failed external seals under 10 meters of water pressure and 3.6 m/s flow. The installation across 18 sections fully eliminated infiltration, restored structural watertight integrity, and proved effective for irregular, seismically damaged geometries without excavation.

While economic disruptions, layoffs, outsourcing, and technological change have eroded the traditional model of lifelong loyalty and steady career progression, careers persist as evolved, earned partnerships—especially in expertise-heavy fields like infrastructure—where employers must actively cultivate respect, mentorship, and meaningful development to retain talent, preserve institutional knowledge, and deliver reliable, high-quality outcomes.

HydraTech was called to a New York water utility to repair a leak in a 24-inch ductile iron drinking water main connecting a pumphouse and elevated tower. Working within tight quarters, a two-person crew installed and air-tested two HydraTite® Internal Pipe Joint Seals in just one day, restoring the utility’s system.

HydraTech used its HydraTite® Internal Joint Seal system to rehabilitate nearly 200 compromised cast-iron water main joints (24- to 48-inch diameter) —applying hydraulic cement where needed and topping seal edges with concrete in the 24″ mains to reduce flow disruption—without excavation. The project, completed in about 35 days, restored integrity to critical water infrastructure while minimizing downtime, traffic disruption, and cost.

Wall loss had resulted in roots growing into the pipe. Interlocking HydraTite seals were installed with backing plates to rehabilitate this pipe.

A carbon steel reducing elbow at a wastewater treatment plant, plagued by leaks and small holes, was repaired using HydraWrap, a fiber-reinforced polymer, due to its cost-effectiveness and the fitting’s location. The repair process involved surface preparation, application of primer and four layers of HydraWrap, resulting in a time-efficient and cost-effective solution that significantly extended the elbow’s operational life.

HydraTte was recently shipped down to Texas to seal 8 joints in a 72″ reinforced concrete pipe. Special thanks to Timber Wilson with the Hidalgo County Irrigation District, who took the time to give us this testimonial.
HydraTech delivered a customized HydraTite® Internal Pipe Joint Seal solution for a drinking water and irrigation system in Chile following the 2010 earthquake, which caused joint separations and persistent leakage in an 83 cm x 151 cm dual-arched aqueduct bridge despite failed external seals under 10 meters of water pressure and 3.6 m/s flow. The installation across 18 sections fully eliminated infiltration, restored structural watertight integrity, and proved effective for irregular, seismically damaged geometries without excavation.
HydraTech implemented the HydraTite® Internal Pipe Joint Seal system for the Ohio Department of Transportation to address infiltration at multiple compromised joints in a 48-inch corrugated metal pipe (CMP) and a 23-inch concrete pipe beneath a Cincinnati roadway, where soil/sediment entry caused pump station buildup and minor roadway sag due to failing liners, non-cylindrical joints, offsets, and other imperfections.
HydraTech manufactured and installed a custom-engineered HydraTite® Internal Pipe Joint Seal solution for an Ohio Department of Transportation stormwater pipe project. By using interlocking rubber sleeves with stainless steel retaining bands, filling corrugations with Pro-Stick®, and completing trenchless installation in just two days without excavation or traffic disruption, the repairs fully eliminated infiltration and restored watertight integrity to the critical joints.
Careers aren’t disappearing, but they are no longer assumed; economic disruption and shifting expectations have reshaped how professionals evaluate long-term commitment. In infrastructure and trade-based industries, where expertise and institutional knowledge take years to build, workforce stability remains essential—and must now be earned through environments that respect experience, support growth, and sustain trust.
Games, food and fun at this year’s Christmas party. The Meritage was great as always, their food tasted awesome.
Marine HydraWrap proved to be the perfect solution for a vessel’s cooling water supply line that had begun leaking at it fittings downstream of the supply pumps.
Tree root intrusion is a major cause of sewer and drain pipe blockages, with fast-growing, water-seeking species like willows, poplars, and maples exploiting cracks and joints in aging pipes. Preventing these costly failures requires a mix of smart landscaping, durable pipe materials or internal seals, chemical root inhibitors, and regular inspections to catch early signs of intrusion.
HydraTech was called to a New York water utility to repair a leak in a 24-inch ductile iron drinking water main connecting a pumphouse and elevated tower. Working within tight quarters, a two-person crew installed and air-tested two HydraTite® Internal Pipe Joint Seals in just one day, restoring the utility’s system.
By installing the seals internally, the team eliminated joint leakage and infiltration without the need for costly excavation or pipeline replacement in this aging water infrastructure for a municipality.
HydraTech employees volunteered at Glenwood Gardens to collect and plant native seeds, supporting environmental restoration and community sustainability.
HydraTech was proud to exhibit again at the Ohio Transportation Engineering Conference (OTEC) at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, connecting with municipalities, contractors, and industry professionals. The event’s theme, “Preparing for the Future,” emphasized improving transportation safety and mobility—an ideal setting to showcase how HydraTite® internal joint seals offer long-term, trenchless solutions for underground infrastructure repair.
HydraTech exhibited HydraTite® and HydraLock® seals at the Southwest Ohio APWA Trade Show, promoting internal pipe joint sealing for underground infrastructure repair.
