Sewer Strains Restored and Repaired with Carbon Fiber Polymer Lining

Deteriorated and leaking pipes are a significant concern for pipeline homeowners and operators, and these in control of upkeep and restore are continually trying to find cost-effective and long-lasting options to the problems. Parts of the Oakland-Macomb Interceptor Drain Drainage District’s (OMIDDD) Northeast Sewage Pumping station in Michigan have been in want of restore to keep reliability and performance. Board members selected to restore and improve the present infrastructure as an alternative of the pricey and time-consuming strategy of demolishing and changing the broken elements. 

A carbon fiber polymer lining from QuakeWrap Inc. was used to revive 4 78-inch diameter pipes on the pump station. QuakeWrap’s system works by making a steady loop of two- to four-foot-wide carbon material bands saturated in epoxy resin utilized to create a steady loop across the pipes. By overlapping the bands of cloth, the fluids can simply circulation from one band to the following.  

It’s estimated that the usage of the carbon fiber polymer liner saved $400,000 on the mission. The pipes have been efficiently sealed and lined in simply days, additionally saving time on the mission.
