A mechanical joint sealing system was implemented to address severe leakage issues in a large-diameter sewer in Tampa, Florida, where traditional methods failed due to pipe size and access challenges. The solution, using the HydraTite system, effectively sealed joints in a 60-inch pipe, preventing infiltration and ensuring long-term structural integrity.
 
 
HydraTech suggests its premier trenchless solution, HydraTite, for sealing leaks and rehabilitating underground infrastructure. In this video the product is explored in depth; what it is, when it is used, and how it is installed.

Satellite technology, using radar and thermal imaging, enables cities to detect hidden leaks and structural issues in infrastructure before surface symptoms appear, as demonstrated by the Portland Water Bureau’s 2022 use of ASTERRA to identify 95% of leaks invisible from the street. Integrated with GIS mapping and condition assessments, this cost-effective tool enhances decision-making and water conservation for utilities managing aging infrastructure.

A municipal pump station used the HydraWrap Structural Composite Repair System to quickly repair pinholes in an 18” FRP pipe, applying two layers of carbon fiber fabric and acid-resistant epoxy in a single day. This cost-effective solution minimized downtime and restored the pipe’s integrity without the need for replacement.
 
 
A recently installed 72” storm drain in Texas failed a pressure test, requiring a long-term, trenchless repair solution to withstand high head pressure without replacing the pipe or disrupting the road above. HydraTite Internal Pipe Joint Seals with an additional retaining band were used to fortify all 61 joints against leaks in just 9 work days, providing a long-lasting solution without disturbing the public.

Unexpected pipe failures lead to costly emergency repairs, causing traffic disruptions, safety hazards, and long-term inefficiencies, as seen in a 2025 Toledo, Ohio sewer collapse that is estimated to have inflicted $8 million in damages and caused significant environmental and public health issues. Proactive maintenance and trenchless rehabilitation techniques can minimize these emergencies by addressing vulnerabilities early, reducing costs and public impact.

A test pipe wrapped in carbon fiber fabric, 'How To Install HydraWrap'

HydraTech, known for its custom-manufactured solutions like the HydraTite internal pipe joint seal, has recently finished producing a batch of external pipe repair clamps designed to address external corrosion in high-pressure piping systems, using 3/8-inch thick 316L stainless steel and 3-inch by 1/4-inch rubber strips. These clamps, which involve intricate fabrication processes like cutting, hole punching, and robust welding, will be used used as termination clamps at the ends of fiber wraps to reinforce pipe repairs.

HydraTite can be installed in corrugated pipes, despite the irregular surface. These installations just require a bit more surface prep. The flutes only have to be filled in where you expect the ribs of the rubber seal to lay, with 1 inch of wiggle room. After the surface is prepared, the installation looks like any other.
