Protecting Clean Water: A Steel Pipe Repair Success Story
Water is one of the most essential resources for life, and in the United States, thousands of water treatment plants work tirelessly to ensure that it’s safe for consumption. After treatment, the water flows through an intricate network of pipes and is stored in reservoirs—some above ground, others hidden beneath the surface. These service reservoirs are crucial for maintaining a steady supply of clean water, especially in areas with challenging topography.
Over time, exposure to moisture and oxygen can lead to corrosion in the steel pipes and tanks within these reservoirs. This not only causes leaks but also poses a risk of contaminating the potable water supply. In some cases, the damage can be severe, requiring immediate and effective repair solutions.
In a service reservoir located in the southwestern U.S., three outlet pipes showed signs of pitting and leaking due to prolonged exposure to water and air. About 5% of the piping system was affected, with some areas showing significant corrosion along the edges of the concrete tank. The repair had to meet strict standards, including NSF-61 certification, to ensure the safety of the drinking water. Plus, the reservoir could only be taken offline for a short period, making timing critical.
To address this challenge, HJ3’s CarbonSeal Steel Pipe Repair System was chosen. This system is UL-approved and meets ANSI/NSF Standard 61, ensuring it's safe for use with potable water. Its fast installation process made it ideal for the tight schedule at the site.
The repair began with thorough surface preparation using abrasive blasting with NSF-61 approved media. Then, the damaged sections were patched, primed, wrapped with carbon fiber, and coated with a chemical-resistant top layer. The entire job was completed in just one day, restoring the pipes to their original strength and integrity.
HJ3’s CarbonSeal system proved to be a reliable and efficient solution for this critical repair. It not only met all regulatory requirements but also ensured long-term protection against future corrosion.
