Project Details

A severe pipe through-wall failure caused by internal corrosion at a wastewater treatment plant was a major cause of concern. The 24” pipe in question transported rainwater in the basement. It ran along the ceiling between two walls and was held in place by pipe supports. The challenge was finding a repair solution to avoid full replacement of the pipe segment and accommodate the concrete walls and pipe supports. The damage was so extensive that when it rained, “it was like a waterfall was coming down from the basement,” according to a plant employee.
