An apparatus for providing an interstitial space to the surface of wall, the apparatus comprises: an adhesive layer; a layer of fluid impervious and weather proof material in form of a tape, the tape partially overlapping itself; a layer of spacer material situated between the surface of the tape facing the wall and the surface of the adhesive layer distal from the wall. The spacer material has ends which are encapsulated, the apparatus providing a sealed interstitial space.

This disclosure relates generally to corrugated pipe, and more particularly to corrugated pipe with an outer wrap. In one embodiment, a pipe includes an axially extended bore defined by a corrugated outer wall having axially adjacent, outwardly-extending corrugation crests, separated by corrugation valleys. The pipe also includes an outer wrap applied to the outer wall. The outer wrap may include fibers and plastic. The outer wrap may span the corrugation crests producing a smooth outer surface.

Structural body comprises a concrete core and a cap around the opening. A first wrap is wrapped under tension around the concrete core and a portion of the cap to form a continuous water resistant barrier around the outer surface of the concrete core. A second wrap can be wrapped under tension around the inner surface of concrete core to form a continuous water resistant barrier around the inner surface of the concrete core. Structural body can be formed as a pipe with a male and female ends to interconnect multiple pipes. The joint formed between two structural bodies has a continuous water resistant barrier that prevents the environment from contacting the concrete core.

Systems and methods for reinforcing physical structures with composite reinforcement systems are disclosed herein. According to aspects of the present disclosure, a composite reinforcement system includes a carrier formed of a plurality of fibers and a blend of at least two reagents impregnated within the carrier. The at least two reagents are chemically configured to react to form a moisture-curable prepolymer. One reagent of the at least two reagents is an isocyanate, and another reagent of the at least two reagents is an aromatic-group-containing polyol.

A machine configured to repair a pipeline extending along a longitudinal axis determined in a body of water, the machine comprising: a frame configured to be clamped to the pipeline; an applicator configured to apply material along an outer surface of the pipeline and comprising a support body shaped as an open ring and configured to be arranged about the pipeline; and an actuating assembly, which is supported by the frame, is arranged between the frame and the applicator, has a distal end configured to support the applicator in a cantilevered fashion and in a rotatable manner, and is configured to displace the applicator along the longitudinal axis and/or to rotate the applicator about the longitudinal axis.

Anti-corrosion composition comprising at least a first polyisobutylene with a Staudinger index J.sub.0 ranging from about 15 cm.sup.3/g to about 98 cm.sup.3/g and an average relative molar mass M.sub.V ranging from about 32,000 g/mol to about 280,000 g/mol and at least a second polyisobutylene with a Staudinger index J.sub.0 ranging from about 105 cm.sup.3/g to about 238 cm.sup.3/g and an average relative molar mass M.sub.V ranging from about 350,000 g/mol to about 900,000 g/mol.

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and method for shrinking a sleeve around an object, comprising providing an object to be covered by a shrink sleeve, positioning a heat shrink sleeve over the object, providing a heater and a shell around the heat shrink sleeve, having the heater heat the shell, and having the shell heat the heat shrink sleeve.

The embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of applying an outer wrap to a corrugated pipe. The method comprises receiving a corrugated pipe that is cut to length, determining a wrap type to be applied to the corrugated pipe, determining a flow rate for applying a wrap of the wrap type based on a type of plastic used in the wrap, a type of fiber used in the wrap, and the wrap type, and applying a wrap made of the type of fiber and the type of plastic to the corrugated pipe using the determined flow rate.
