Engineered Solution

Due to the location of the fitting and the overall expenses of replacement, HydraWrap was selected to rehabilitate and repair the reducing elbow.

Scope

The surface was prepared from flange to flange of the elbow. Primer was applied, followed by four layers of HydraWrap. The repair was completed ahead of schedule.
