Theme-Park Water Main — Straight Pipe Clamp Stops a Live Leak

Theme-Park Water Main — Straight Pipe Clamp Stops a Live Leak
The leaking straight pipe section, exposed in the open trench.

The leak was on a straight run of a buried water main feeding the park. Groundwater and soil made the joint area impossible to dry out, so the repair had to work on a wet, still-pressurised pipe.

Leak sealed — the clamp wrapped around the pipe, line still in service.

Pressure was restored and the section held. Because the repair is a mechanical wrap, the line goes straight back into service and the trench can be backfilled the same day.
