The Problem:
The New Otani Hotel in Los Angeles, California, offers 434
rooms and was experiencing pinhole leaks in its copper hot water system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
The soft water supply in the area’s water system leads to an early replacement of copper piping systems, which corrode quickly in this environment, often within seven to ten years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
After just 18 years of service, Engineering staff had started to face the difficult problem of recurrent pinhole leaks in their copper water system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
The DoubleTree’s Chief Engineer, Doug Gray, is responsible for a six story, 250-room hotel plagued with a failing copper domestic water system including pinhole leaks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
This 12-story, 259-unit Holiday Inn, built in 1972 and located just seconds from SeaTac Airport, had galvanized piping suffering from low water flow, discolored water and occasional leaks; all classic symptoms of an encrusted and failing galvanized system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
After more than 70 years of service, the historic Executive Pacific Plaza Hotel was rapidly deteriorating with more than 40 of their 160 rooms placed out of service due to severe pipe corrosion and low water flow.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
One of the major engineering challenges facing the operators of this
world-class facility has been the damage from the effects of corrosion of the buildings piping system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
The hotel had pinhole leaks in its copper pipes. Repair by conventional methods to known leaks was first completed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
They were faced with the disruptive problem of recurrent copper pinholes in their domestic hot water supply.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
The outdoor swimming pools and spas nestled in a mountain like setting were being stained with a green copper staining.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
Confronted with a problem that showed up in the residential units, first as brown water and then reduced water flow and pinhole leaks, management sought out a modern solution.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
Over the years, the hotel’s piping system was slowly deteriorating. Brown water, low flow, and leaks were becoming the day-to-day norm rather than the exception.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Problem:
Unfortunately, as with many buildings of this era, the decades of use slowly took their toll on the internal systems in the building.
