MARINE HYDRAWRAP® (CARBON FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER)
HYDRAWRAP® (CARBON FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER)
Project: (3) 96” Downcomer
Installer: Construction Solutions, Inc
Engineered Solution: HydraWrap®, Carbon Fiber Structural Repair.
Substrate: Steel – Abrasive Blast to SSPC‐SP6
A nuclear power plant requested structural repair of three 96” downcomers, each approximately 23 feet long.
Engineers walked down the project, reviewed drawings and system operating parameters and provided an engineered solution. This solution utilized HydraTech’s HydraWrap Carbon Reinforced Polymer System.
Each downcomer was surface prepared to obtain a near white surface profile. Two layers of bidirectional carbon fiber were installed on the interior surfaces of each water box while ensuring smooth transition to all inlet and outlet connections. The HydraWrap carbon fiber was then top coated with a protective coating.
