The Problem:


The problem they were experiencing was related to pipe corrosion in the piping system in the facilities chilled water and heating system. The two pipe heating- cooling system was made of Schedule 40 black steel main lines with soft copper branch lines.

The Problem:


After only seven years of service, the hot water system in the Health Center wing was failing regularly due to pinhole leaks in the copper piping. The leaks were leading to frequent tenant interruptions, property damage and other problems for residents & staff.

The Problem:


Copper water pipes are failing at an unprecedented rate. Pinholes and slab leaks, even in newer pipes, have become a global epidemic causing billions in property damage.

The Problem:


The Center contacted ACE Envirotech when they experienced an underground drain pipe failure. The eight inch diameter pipe was 70 feet in length and ran 20 feet below the surface between the Lombardi Cancer Center and the Marriott at Georgetown University.
