ePIPE Chosen to Protect World's Largest Aircraft Facility

The Client: One of the world's largest aerospace manufacturers and an organization respected for its precision engineering and quality construction.

When looking for a long term solution to preserve and protect some problem piping at their Puget Sound assembly facility, engineers investigated numerous solutions. Their Puget Sound Facility boasts the largest building in the world and is the assembly location for the company's jumbo jet fleet, including some of the world's largest jets.

Because the pipe was located under the tarmac in the flight assembly area, engineers quickly determined that conventional digging and replacement of the pipes was simply out of the question.

Fortunately, the Puget Sound engineering team was aware of the ePIPE technology that the company had utilized in their fabrication facility in Auburn, Washington two years previously. Satisfied with their past experience using EPIPE restoration, and convinced that ePIPE was the right solution for them at the assembly facility, the work was scheduled.

The ePIPE team promptly responded to the challenge using the patented ePIPE solution to clean and reline the pipes in-place, without disturbing the tarmac. Result: the project was completed with no delay or disruption to the customer's schedule.
