A power producing company in Nevada recently required strengthening for a majority of its circulating cooling water piping system at its natural gas power plant. The client has approached this work since 2017 by releasing scope in phases as required to have minimal plant disruption. For this particular scope, the client needed repair of their Unit 3 cooling water lines. Working together with Fyfe Co. to provide a complete solution, engineers determined that the use of the Tyfo® SCH-41-2X uni-directional carbon fiber wrap system met all the performance and longevity needs for the client to have a new fully structural pipe for the subject cooling water piping system. The Tyfo® system is a carbon fiber-reinforced polymer product that can provide added strength to various structures.
