Nu Flow successfully completed a pipe lining project at a military base without interrupting operations. Nu Flowrestored a re-suppression deluge system using Nu Flow’s patented epoxy lining solution, demonstrating the range
of systems where it is applicable.
Project: Renovate and protect a re-suppression deluge system using Nu Flow’s patented epoxy coating.
Customer: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and Fort Drum 10th Mountain Division, the only division-sized
element of the US Army to specialize in ghting under harsh terrain and weather conditions.
Site: Six bays of an aircraft hangar at Fort Drum in New York, occupied by numerous attack helicopters.
System: Over a mile of 1” to 6” black iron pipes
in six bays, each with its own re-suppression
station. The aqueous lm-forming foam (AFFF)distribution system consisted of 420 open
sprinkler heads on six deluge systems.
Situation: Pinhole leaks, failing joints and
tuberculation in the AFFF system were causing
failures and false alarms.
Solution: Nu Flow’s solution saved the
customer from the cost and logistics of
repairing and replacing the entire system by
using existing sprinkler heads to access and
reline the existing pipes. Nu Flow sandblasted
the pipes to get rid of any buildup by dropping1” hoses from each sprinkler head to the oor
where the sandblaster was located. Despite
the snow and freezing temperatures, Nu Flow
was able to restore the piping system with their
patented epoxy coatings by making sure air
temperatures were high enough in the hangars
rafters where most work was performed.
Fire suppression systems are common in
commercial, industrial and residential buildings.
Whether you are experiencing problems now or
are interested in preventing the inevitable failureof your plumbing system, Nu Flow is available
to restore your peace of mind.
“A job like this demonstrates how
Nu Flow’s patented epoxy coating
is not limited to lining copper piping systems,
but can also rehabilitate large fre suppression
systems without destruction.”
