Abstract

See full text

A system and method of repairing a pipe including securing a reinforcing material, such as a dry fiber structure (e.g., carbon fibers) to the surface of the pipe. An outer sleeve is installed around the reinforcing material. A polymeric material is placed (e.g., poured) into the interior of the sleeve around the reinforcing material. External pressure is applied to the sleeve. The polymeric material substantially saturates the reinforcing material and cures to form a reinforced polymeric composite which may increase or restore the pressure rating or operating pressure capacity of the pipe.
