UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS provides rapid and effective repair solutions for critical infrastructure in demanding environments. This case study highlights the successful emergency repair of a water supply line in a mining facility using UPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE.
At a mining facility, a 2-inch water supply line developed a leak that threatened to disrupt operations. Given the critical nature of the water supply and the demanding environment, a fast and effective repair was essential to avoid extended downtime.
The key challenge was to implement a quick repair that would restore the pipe’s functionality within a short time frame, ensuring minimal disruption to the facility’s operations. The solution needed to be both rapid and reliable, providing a strong seal to prevent further leaks.
UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS provided a rapid repair solution using UPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE. The application process involved the following steps:
Preparation
- The process line was shut down to allow for the repair to be carried out safely.
- The surface of the pipe was prepared using hand tools, including wire brushes, to remove any loose material and create a clean surface for the bandage to adhere to.
Application of UPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE
- UPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE was used to repair the 2-inch pipe. The bandage was wrapped around the damaged section of the pipe, creating a strong and durable seal.
- The repair was completed quickly, and the pipe was back in service within 30 minutes, minimising downtime and restoring the water supply line to full functionality.
The application of UPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE successfully sealed the leak in the water supply line, allowing the mining facility to resume normal operations almost immediately. The quick and effective repair ensured that the facility experienced minimal disruption, maintaining its operational efficiency.
This case study demonstrates the effectiveness of UNIQUE POLYMER SYSTEMS' emergency repair solutions in critical industrial settings. Our rapid application process and durable materials provided a reliable solution that prevented extended downtime and ensured the continued operation of the mining facility’s water supply line.
