HYDRATECH HYDRATITE™ DOT STORM DRAIN
HYDRATITE™ SEAL
Project: DOT Joint Repair
Application: Storm Culvert
Product Used: HydraTite Seal
Substrate/Area: Reinforced Concrete Pipe
Installation: June 2007
The Challenge
The rehabilitation of reinforced concrete storm drains under a major intersection. The Storm drains ranging from 18” to 36” diameter RCP fed into a main 72” diameter line.
The Solution
Inspection by Engineers revealed that the joints had opened up. In certain areas the joints had failed and storm water had eroded the surrounding soil producing sizable sink holes in the highway and surrounding areas.
To determine the most appropriate product an engineer inspected the lines. After approval of the repair by client, the HydraTite seals were manufactured and then installed in one day using trained personnel. The inspection, manufacture and installation were completed within 2 weeks of client authorizing the job to be started.
The crew and all materials entered through existing manholes and there was no above ground disruption to the traffic as the seals were installed.
