Juneau
Centennial Hall |
Juneau, AK
The Problem:
The Juneau Centennial Hall is the largest convention center in Juneau,
the state capital of Alaska. Originally constructed in 1982 this
relatively new facility was experiencing signs of deterioration
of its copper piping system. Conventional repairs had been carried
to the piping system but the thought and expense of repiping the
entire facility was not a favorable option facing the management
of the convention center.

|
Los Angeles, CA
The Problem:
Early into the life of this world class facility the property engineers
noticed that they were having leaks in the water supply lines servicing
the building. In July 2000, an engineering report was commissioned
which helped in part to identify the extent of the damage to the
piping system.

Heights Medical Tower
|
Houston, TX
The Problem:
The main natural gas supply line from the City meter
to the building’s basement area was showing signs of
internal corrosion, a common problem with natural gas
supply lines. Using traditional pipe replacement
techniques would have meant that the patient drop-off
and parking areas would have been placed out of
service and worse yet would have been cut up to
install a new gas line. |
