LEAKS and RUSTY WATER
The Raymond O. Shelton School Administration Center (ROSSAC) was built in 1978. Located in downtown Tampa, it is the home of the Hillsborough County School Board and school administration center for one of the largest school districts in the United States. The ROSSAC Building was suffering from leaks and rusty water in their water piping.
PUTTING A HIGH PRIORITY ON INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS
The Hillsborough County School District had seen this problem before in their schools and after their recent restoration of the water piping at King High School, they once
THE FIX FROM FLORIDA PIPE-LINING SOLUTIONS AND ePIPE®
Putting together a plan of action to completely restore the water piping in their building was the first step. The ePIPE® Techs from FPS first shut off and drained the water system. After using compressed air and sand to clean years of corrosion from the interior of the piping, they replaced all of the isolation valves and installed the ePIPE® epoxy barrier coating. After the newly lined piping was dry, the entire system was tested and put back on line. While they could have chosen to re-pipe the ROSSAC building, the Hillsborough school officials knew what kind of disruption this would have been and instead chose the proven ePIPE® System for a stress free and permanent solution to their rusty water and pinhole leaks.
Satisfaction at the ROSSAC building
The unique and Patented ePIPE® epoxy barrier coating system is NSF-61 approved for drinking water. Working over Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays to accommodate the busy schedule at the ROSSAC building, the FPS Techs finished the project in 4½ weeks. After the restoration of the piping, the leaks were gone and thanks to the smooth, corrosion-free interior of the pipes, their water pressure is back. The ePIPE® restoration of their piping prevents future pinhole leaks and stops LEAD leaching into their water supply, all without the mess and destruction of re-piping.
