Problem: Iron pipes installed without lining develop encrustation (tuberculation) reducing flow capacity and impeding maintenance of necessary residual disinfectant. Corrosion can also result in “red water” complaints from customers.

Solution: Pipeline cleaning followed by remote application of Hunting’s Waterline Epoxy , an anti-corrosive epoxy coating approved for use with potable water.

Advantages:

• Restores flow and carrying capacity.
• Eliminates discolored water.
• Provides protection against future corrosion and tuberculation.
• Significant cost benefit over pipe replacement.

Problem: All types of water pipe are subject to joint failure resulting in excessive leakage. This can lead to washout of soil bedding and subsequent failure of surface structures.

Solution: Where man-entry is possible, joint leakage in potable water distribution piping is best corrected using Hunting’s HydraTite Sealing System.

Advantages:

• Minimal excavation required.
• Flexible, accommodating further pipe movement.
• The seal can be interlocked to repair localized cracking.
• The most effective and economical solution.
