Background
During renovation works on the Dubai Fountains in front of the Burj Khalifa, two 90-degree pipe junctions were found to be damaged and required urgent rehabilitation.
Scope of Work:
- Pipe Cleaning & Jetting
- Surface preparation using Maxi Miller
- Installation of Picote Connection Collar System 2.0
The Picote Solution
A team of two technicians from Lateral Repairs, Lithuania and four from Hydrojet Technology Services were tasked to clear the pipes by jetting, and then prepare the inside of the pipes with the Picote Maxi Miller.
The team then proceeded to install the connection collars to completely line the 90° junctions. The next-generation Connection Collar System from Picote provides a 360° resin-cured connection rehabilitation system. The collar cures forming a new pipe right around the main and the lateral, not just a patch in the main like a traditional top hat would. Custom Push Rods allowed the collar to be installed quickly and the turning handle made positioning the collar in the correct position very simple.


Lateral Repairs provided a unique and effective solution where approximately six other companies were unable to. The work was completed efficiently, saving both time and cost. The level of client satisfaction was extremely high, leading to future opportunities in the region.


“The engineers were amazed by the process. Other projects are already underway and in planning stages.”
