Industrial Water Line Repair at Sulphur Thermal Power Plant

Location

Sulphur Thermal Power Plant

Application Area

Industrial Water Pipeline – Corroded and Leaking Lines

Project Overview

Persistent leakage was detected on several industrial water lines within the thermal power plant, caused by external corrosion and environmental moisture. Conventional repair methods had failed to arrest the leaks effectively.

Challenges Faced

Constant moisture preventing traditional bonding

Ongoing corrosion degrading the pipe’s surface

Leak site difficult to seal under active flow

Risk of escalating damage and potential shutdowns

Objectives

Immediately arrest the active water leak

Prevent further corrosion and pipe deterioration

Deliver a fast, cost-effective repair solution

Avoid unplanned plant shutdowns or production delays

Repair Solution & Process

Products Used

UPS SEAL-FLEX TAPEUPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGEUPS 19060 SG THISTLEBOND STICK GRADE METAL

Application Steps

Surface
Preparation

All loose debris and oxidised corrosion were removed. The pipe was then cleaned and abraded to improve adhesion.
‍

Leak Plugging with Epoxy Putty

UPS THISTLEBOND STICK GRADE METAL was hand-mixed and pressed into the leaking area to form an initial mechanical seal.

Activation of Repair Bandage

TheUPS THISTLEBOND EMERGENCY PIPE REPAIR BANDAGE was submerged in water for 20 seconds to activate its fast-curing resin system.

Bandage Wrapping

The activated bandage was tightly wound around the pipe with overlapping layers, concentrating reinforcement over the damage zone.

Cure & Reinforcement

At20°C ambient temperature, the wrap achieved full sealing and structural integrity in approx. 40 minutes.

Results & Key Benefits

Leak completely sealed with no shutdown required | Corrosion halted and mechanical strength restored | Quick and easy application using minimal tools | Significant savings over pipe replacement or downtime | Long-lasting, field-proven performance

SUMMARY

This urgent repair at a key thermal power plant demonstrates the power of UPS composite repair systems to deliver rapid, durable, and production-safe solutions in harsh industrial environments.
