UNIQUE ADVANTAGES OF THE SYSTEM

Trenchless Process: prevents the cutting of roads and other surface structures
Segmental Repair System: avoids the spending of millions when using alternative methods such as Sliplining. Allows for the fully structural rehabilitation of only distressed pipe segments
Internal Diameter Remains Virtually Unchanged: the fully structural system rarely adds more than ¼-inch thickness to the pipe’s internal diameter, significantly less than any other rehab system out there
Speed of Completion: the system has been repeatedly utilized to complete emergency repairs in minimal time, ranging from 48 to 72 hours. Fibrwrap Construction, Inc. specializes in rapid, turn key repairs, even during emergency shut downs, with limited disruption of service
Completely Non-Corrosive: the non-metallic material ensures that corrosion-related damages do not recur in rehabilitated pipe segments
NSF61 Certification: every component of the repair system, from the fibers to the primers to the resins and composites, are NSF61 certified for potable water applications
Durability: all rehab systems are designed for a minimum 50-year service life, just like concrete and steel. Full scale testing, weatherability studies and in-field service life have proven the durability of FRP-based systems
Environmentally Friendly: the VOC-content of the composite systems are well below EPA’s Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) allowables. This is ideal for work performed in confined spaces such as inside pipelines
Trained Professionals: Fibrwrap Construction, Inc.’s trained crew of project managers, superintendents and field application personnel adhere to the highest standards of safety. They are certified by the Cal/OSHA Mining and Tunneling Unit to meet one of the most stringent construction regulations in North America --- The California Dept. of Industrial Relations, Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) – Title 8 Regulations (T8 CCR, California Code of Regulations), Chapter 4, Division of Industrial Safety, Subchapter 20, Tunnel Safety Orders (§§ 8400 – 8568)

The Tyfo® Fibrwrap® Pipe Rehabilitation System is a Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP)-based trenchless technology method for the repair, strengthening and retrofit of corrosion-damaged and distressed large diameter PCCP, RCCP, and Steel pressure pipelines used in municipal, industrial and other applications. The patented process (US Patent 5931198) has been successfully utilized worldwide for more than a decade to rehabilitate many miles of pipelines ranging in diameters of 36-inch through 201-inch.
	THE PROCESS By bonding specially designed layers of FRPs (carbon fibers and glass fibers) to the internal surface of a pipeline, advantage is taken of the inherent strength of these FRP systems which in turn contribute to significantly increasing both the hoop and axial strengths of a distressed pipe segment. Application of the layers of fiber composites virtually leaves the internal diameter of the pipe unchanged and results in a rapid installation process that is both economical and, most importantly, fully structural.
