ePIPE® Restores Busy Maryland Hotel with No Overnight Water Shut Downs

The Problem:

 The Sheraton hotel in Columbia, MD is made up of three low rise buildings and one high rise building. It is a busy hotel serving one of the most active areas in Maryland.  The property was experiencing pinhole leaks throughout its hot water copper piping system.  The Sheraton was looking for a cost-effective way to solve the problem of leaky pipes without disturbing room availability with the long construction times, mess and hassle often associated with a repipe. 

The Solution: 

The Sheraton – Columbia chose ePIPE, its two-hour return to service product and the company’s 15 year history of pipe restoration installation. The potable hot water piping system and recirculating main were relined. Using its patented process, ePIPE was able to quickly fix the problem without severe disturbance to guests or effecting room availability.  Over the course of the project, the certified ePIPE technicians were able to restore all 146 rooms with no overnight shut downs. ePIPE is the only small diameter pipelining company that offers an NSF certified 2-hour immediate return to service lining material suitable for small diameter pipes that carry drinking water.  No other lining company comes close to same day “water on” service.
