The Sparkletts® plant in Phoenix, Arizona presented Advantage Reline with a unique problem – several 6 inch potable water pipes had welded seams with pin hole leaks, causing a partial shutdown of their operations.

The plant provides drinking water to thousands of customers throughout the south western United States. A disruption in supply would mean a huge hit to Sparklett’s bottom line, and many unhappy customers.

Faced with this problem, Sparkletts needed a permanent solution that minimized downtime and kept repair costs low. They also needed a solution that was certified and safe for use with potable (drinking) water.

Advantage Reline met with the team at Sparkletts® to discuss their problem and address any concerns about the repairs. Following a thorough inspection of the leaking pipes, Advantage Reline communicated the requirements of the project and associated costs and timeline.

Once project planning was complete, Advantage Reline completed the necessary repairs utilizing their Sprayed-in-Place (SIPP) pipe repair process. Sparklett’s® cost savings for this project equated to 60% less than traditional pipe repair methods. Due to Advantage Reline's experience and efficient operations, Sparkletts' system was only offline for 3 days compared to the estimated 14 day downtime with their other options.
