Challenge
Concrete pipe sections below State Route 18 in Ohio had begun to shift and the deteriorating joints raised concerns of infiltration. A solution was needed that would not affect the above traffic or a sinkhole could stop traffic completely.
Engineered Solution
17 HydraTite seals were needed to repair all the affected joints. Standard wide, extra-wide and double-wide seal widths were used at different joints as needed to provide the most appropriate solution. All of the seals were 72” in diameter.
Scope
HydraTech inspected the culvert to decide the most economic seal widths to use on each joint. The project required concrete patching and grinding to prepare for the seals. The pipe still had some water flow, but because the HydraTite seal can be installed even underwater, the installation was not hindered by this. Finally, 17 HydraTite seals of various widths had to be installed throughout the pipe. Once HydraTech arrived, the installation was completed in only 2 days. The total turnaround was completed in less than two weeks after the purchase order was received.
Solution
The HydraTite seals eliminated infiltration at all joints. The HydraTite Solution enabled a trenchless repair at a fraction of the cost of alternatives. The above traffic was not affected by the culvert rehabilitation. The HydraTite seal proved to be an economical and effective in situ repair solution.
