30-Inch Underground Water Line Live Leak Repair

An underground concrete 30-inch water line experienced an active leak that could not be isolated and needed to be repaired live to avoid shutting down the plant. RAK Industrial Services completed a successful repair by securing the leak live, utilizing injection methods, water wrap systems, and composite reinforcement to restore the affected section of the line. The repair was completed in phases to control the active leaks and provide long-term protection for the underground piping system.
