In the fast paced and cost sensitive construction industry, Rapp-it is ideal for emergency pipe repairs, as it can be applied to any size or type of pipe. Rapp-it is a more convenient alternative to stocking joiners and spare parts that you may never use.
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 the water spillage on the ground was creating a safety hazard for construction workers accessing the area.
SOLUTION
The customer decreased the line pressure and then cleaned the area. As the leak was located close to a poly joiner, we advised that Rapp-it should be applied over the joiner to ensure the leak would be fully contained. Using Rapp-it Steel Putty and a Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandage (100mm x 3.6m) applied over the joiner, the leak was successfully contained within 30 minutes with no further spillage onsite.
