CASE STUDY

Construction Site Case Study

In the fast-paced, cost-sensitive construction industry, Rapp-it is ideal for emergency pipe repairs and can be applied to any size or type of pipe. It is a more convenient alternative to stocking joiners and spare parts that may never be used.

Scope

The customer had a leak on a poly pipe water line feeding the job site. The pipe could not be shut down and required an urgent temporary repair, as water spillage on the ground was creating a safety hazard for workers accessing the area.

Solution

The customer decreased the line pressure and cleaned the area. As the leak was located close to a poly joiner, Rapp-it was applied over the joiner to ensure the leak was fully contained. Using Rapp-it Steel Putty and a Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage (100mm x 3.6m), the leak was successfully contained within 30 minutes with no further spillage on site.
