This overflow pipe was buried under several feet of gravel, and a concrete pad was above that. So when a hole was discovered, digging to replace it was not an option. HydraTite provided the trenchless solution.
 
 
HydraTite has been installed on many DOT projects and is frequently included on state product lists. We want everyone to know there is an economically advantageous way to rehabilitate aging underground pipes.

Caleb Rutledge dug in and got his hands dirty on the first half of this job. He helped install most of the project’s total 45 HydraTite seals. He believes it is important to have first-hand experience with our products so he can better explain them to our clients. “I see this all as vital for my role in Business Development”.
 
 
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.

It is a sobering fact that from 2011 to 2018 1,030 U.S. workers died from occupational injuries involving confined space and HydraTech’s crew is no stranger to working in confined spaces.

Exfiltration was discovered in a joint in a d-shaped pipe that ran between two tanks. Due to the depth of the pipe and its position between the tanks, HydraTite was the perfect solution.
 
 
The cooling water system on a vessel experienced leaks and deterioration of the pipe wall. HydraTech provided supervision and training services and the vessel’s personnel applied Marine HydraWrap to one 24-in x 18-in tee and one 18-in elbow in one working day.

Three culverts had soil infiltrating their joints. A single technician installed 9 HydraTite seals in various joints in the 3 culverts in only 3 days. Our seals successfully in eliminated soil infiltration in the repaired joints without needing to dig down to the pipes.

This carbon steel pipe leaked due to deterioration and a typical repair or replacement would be highly labor-intensive and time-consuming. Marine HydraWrap was used to repair the system and keep the vessel in operation without the need to remove the existing pipe or perform hot work.
 
 
Everything from surface prep, epoxy coating, and fabric wrapping of this 18-foot pipe repair was completed in only 2 days.

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.

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

HydraTite was used to rehabilitate 13 joints in this century-old pipe quickly and efficiently. The pipe was dewatered, the interior surface was smoothed out with concrete, and the seals were installed over the joints. The seals were air-tested and adjusted as needed. The entire project was wrapped up in 8 days.

A sanitary pipe that has been wrapped in carbon fiber fabric, 'Wrapping A Pipe Despite A Wet Environment'
Pipes have been vital to infrastructure since the ancient Minoans installed underground systems around 2700 BCE, with traditional maintenance involving costly excavation until the 20th century introduced trenchless technologies like sliplining, grouting, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP), pipe bursting, and internal pipe joint seals, each offering unique benefits and limitations. The trenchless repair market, currently valued at $4.12 billion and projected to grow to $6.48 billion by 2030, is dominated by CIPP (46.7% share) with ongoing innovations like UV curing and AI-driven failure prediction poised to further transform the industry.

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

This week, I had the privilege of participating in a comprehensive training session led by our very knowledgeable engineer, Mike Fox. The focus of this training was on the practical application of our HydraWrap system, which offers innovative solutions for infrastructure repair. Several other employees from office side joined me for this new experience.

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.
