These newly qualified standards make TridentSeal an even more efficient and high-performing, permanent repair solution that addresses live leaks and fugitive emissions for a wider range of applications on both above and below ground gas distribution lines.

The TridentSeal repair kit provides a simple, four-step repair that requires no hot work or special tools. The kit includes TridentPutty, which penetrates the defect, seals the leak, and bonds with the piping. A pressure-sealing tape compresses the putty, improving its penetration into defects. Both the putty and tape are then mechanically protected with TridentSeal water-activated, composite outer wrap that cures to a hard finish. Once cured, the system provides a permanent, tamper-proof repair for active gas leaks to <125 psi (8.6 bar) without interruption to service. 

While CSNRI has no special training requirements for installation of TridentSeal, we do offer easy-to-follow video and written product use instructions. Training requirements and frequency are subject to the discretion of the operator.

CSNRI composite repairs are installed to provide structural reinforcement for significantly corroded and thinned pipes, after which inspecting the remaining wall thickness on the pipe can become challenging. To enable the asset owner to monitor any wall loss at critical points, CSNRI has partnered with ​​​Inductosense, a leading monitoring company. The Inductosense WAND sensors can be installed under certain CSNRI composite wraps allowing for wall thickness monitoring without the need for removal or re-installation of the composite - saving the customer time and money.
