250-Unit Washington, D.C.
Housing Complex Chooses ACE DuraFlo's ePIPE
to Restore Water System
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) --
Using ACE DuraFlo's patent pending ePIPE(tm)
process, ACE EnviroTech Inc. has undertaken
the plumbing restoration of Washington, D.C.'s
Idaho Terrace Apartments. The 250-unit complex
was experiencing low water flow and leaks
in the potable water system.
ACE EnviroTech is using ePIPE, ACE DuraFlo's
unique, "in-place" pipe restoration
technology to restore the complex's encrusted
galvanized potable piping system. The process
involved air-drying of the pipes, burst sanding
and the application of an epoxy barrier coating
resulting in a restored, epoxy-lined, plumbing
system.
According to company officials the ACE DuraFlo,
ePIPE process is a complete, permanent solution
for pinhole leaks and corrosion control for
both commercial and residential plumbing
systems.
"After developing a tenant friendly
schedule for the Idaho Terrace residents,
we worked to restore the galvanized risers
and branch lines serving the facility, in-place,
with minimal cutting into the building's
walls, ceilings or floors," says Bill
Cooper, President of ACE EnviroTech Inc.
Before the ACE DuraFlo process was chosen,
a conventional repipe was attempted for the
complex, which required cutting into the
building's interior structure.
"Partway through the first phase of
the repiping, management found themselves
and their tenants facing a repiping nightmare," Cooper
says. "Dust, mess, delays and long water
outages were the order of the day. The building's
primary construction of concrete and cinder
block was not at all user friendly to a repipe," Cooper
says. "I'm glad we could give them an
environmentally friendly solution, completely
solving their water system problems with
little disturbance to their tenants' daily
living activity.
