CFRP Pipe Repair: How To Ensure Success
By Casey A. Sturrup and Brian J. Toney
Lining damaged pipes with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) can be an efficient and reliable fix, but one that can go awry without quality assurance and control.
Numerous articles have been written describing the condition of existing infrastructure and the importance of maintaining critical services during our current times (Antoniewicz and Radzinski). A major segment of infrastructure is piping. Piping concerns exist for many industries (e.g., drinking water, wastewater, power generation) and keeping water moving is critical for not only emergency services but for maintaining the flow of life for all. Downtime for repairs and replacements of piping is expensive, disruptive, and time-consuming. One technology being used in the piping industry is lining existing pipes with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). ....
