FIBRWRAP CONSTRUCTION

The development lot at Selarang Park Complex had a 700mm diameter PUB pipe that required protection and strengthening due to the construction of a new box culvert across it. Prior to commencing any earth work, piling works, and/or building works, PUB had mandated the protection and strengthening of the existing pipe.
To address this, the TYFO® Fibrwrap® System was proposed and approved for use in reinforcing the affected 2.5m length of the pipe. The System was applied to the external surface of the pipe and served as corrosion protection along with an additional bitumen coating.
The strengthening work was completed in less than a week.
