When access is limited and time is critical, Rapp-it Pipe Repair Bandages are the go-to solution for fast, reliable repairs.
Rapp-it is also certified for use on potable water lines, giving users peace of mind that it’s safe, compliant, and effective – even in emergency situations.
SCOPE
A blowout occurred on a poly pipe line feeding water to a tailings dam. The location was inaccessible to machinery, making traditional repair methods impossible.
SOLUTION
With no way to bring in heavy equipment, the team had to get creative. To ensure a secure, watertight seal, they turned to the “good old faithful Rapp-it”. The bandage held strong under pressure, allowing the site to stay operational until a full replacement could be scheduled.
