HYDRATECH HYDRAWRAP® WATER BOX CASE STUDY
HYDRAWRAP® (FIBER REINFORCED POLYMER)
Project: Condenser Water Boxes
Installer: EMS, USA
Engineered Solution: HydraWrap®, Carbon Fiber Structural Repair.
Substrate/Area: Steel – Abrasive Blast to SSPC-SP6
Installation: April 2008
Client requested repair and coating to a four water boxes, each box measuring approximately 290 sq. ft.
Engineers walked down the project, reviewed drawings and system operating parameters and provided an engineered solution. This solution utilized the HydraWrap Carbon Reinforced Polymer System.
Each water box was grit blasted 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 UV protective coating.
