This advanced NSF 61 Certified Technology implements sequential layers of high tensile strength carbon fiber
in a matrix of potable water epoxy. When these fibers become bonded to the pipeline's circumference they resist
internal hoop stresses emanating from the pipelines internal pressure. Lanzo Trenchless Technologies utilizes
the carbon fiber technology in applications such as those detailed below where the pre-stressed concrete
cylinder pipes (PCCP) were on the verge of catastrophic failure. The hoop strengthening achieved by the
sequential carbon fiber epoxy process generally requires minimal downtime and the rehabilitation of critical
potable water transmission lines that supply communities with clean drinking water is not impacted. Additional
advantages include the ability to structurally rehabilitate a wide range of pipe diameters, high strength,
corrosion resistance, and ease of installation when compared to other critical pipe repair options.
