Problem: Damp conditions within the area have caused the breakdown of concrete surroundings and corrosion of the pipework, leading to significant loss of wall thickness. The asset owner required the structural integrity of the pipe to be reinstated. The Belzona SuperWrap II system could not be applied externally on the pipework, as it was housed within the concrete foundations, leading to the unique and novel use of the Belzona SuperWrap II system to manufacture an insert.
