Case-Study-of-the-Month: Window Joint Repair at Adventure Aquarium

Adventure Aquarium, located on the Delaware River Waterfront in New Jersey, needed to repair a leak in a tank that is part of the aquarium's West African River Experience, a popular exhibit featuring hippopotamuses, porcupines and over 20 species of African birds in a free-flight aviary. The problem area was located within a 60,000 gallon "pool" belonging to the aquarium's two hippos, Button and Genny.

"We had a leaking acrylic window joint in our hippo tank," said Don Seymour, Chief Engineer for Adventure Aquarium. "We had drained the tank for routine cleaning and the leak was worse when the weight of the water was taken off the window." The tank had been leaking on and off since the aquarium opened in May 2005.

Point Repair Using Prime-Flex 920 or Hydro Gel SX Solves Problem of Leaking Joints in Sewer Lines

Step by step instructions for filling voids created by soil and water leaking in through pipe joints, stabilizing soil around void, and sealing leaks in the joint.

Locate the leaking pipe joint by observing the pothole in roadway and by measuring the distance from the manhole to the joint.

Place a remote TV camera in the pipe (place it upstream to keep polyurethane from getting on your camera). Be ready to water jet the pipe clear if any cured material builds up inside.

Drive (or jet) a pipe on either side of the pipe at the leaking joint. You may need to drill through the pavement if the joint is below a roadway.

Inject approximately one gallon of Prime-Flex 920 (with about 5% catalyst) or 1 gallon of Hydro Gel SX (plus 8-10 parts water) into the first pipe. Check to see if this sealed the joint. If not, repeat this procedure through the second pipe. Quantities of material will vary depending on size of pipe and size of void.

Remove the pipes as quickly as possible to avoid sealing the pipe in the ground. Repeat step 4 at one to two feet below the pavement to stabilize the soil below the roadway.
