Admiral Farragut Academy
Chooses ACE DuraFlo's Pipeline Restoration
Technologies to Restore the School's Plumbing
System
SARASOTA, Fla., May 1, 2006 (PRIMEZONE)
-- Today Pipeline Restoration Technologies
announces the restoration of St. Petersburg's
Admiral Farragut Academy's aged plumbing
system, rejuvenating the 85-year-old, 400-student
Naval Academy's copper and galvanized pipes
using the ACE DuraFlo ePIPE(tm) process.
"The cadets' safety is our number one
priority above all else and ACE DuraFlo's
epoxy lined piping solution for pinhole leaks
and pipe restoration exceeded our health
and safety concerns," Randy Pike, spokesman
for the Admiral Farragut Academy says. "Pipeline
Restoration Technologies was exceptionally
courteous and professional and did not disrupt
our school's curriculum and activities even
though the restoration took place with school
in session."
Founded in 1945, the Admiral Farragut Academy
is a co-educational, boarding and day college-preparatory
military school with full Naval Junior ROTC
status for grades 9-12. Classes are held
year-round. The Academy's education curriculum
begins with kindergarten, and students in
grades 6-12 have the option of boarding at
the school for five or seven days a week.
"The project consisted of the complete
restoration of the water supply mains, risers
and branch lines for the atrium style, 90-room
facility," said Mike Propsom, Pipeline
Restoration Technologies President, adding, "The
project took approximately four months to
complete. Using ACE DuraFlo's ePIPE, the
academy was fully functional and completely
safe throughout the process."
According to company officials, the ACE
DuraFlo ePIPE process cleans the inside of
the existing water piping system and seals
the pipes with a healthy, non-toxic NSF/ANSI
61 Certified epoxy barrier coating making
the pipes leak-proof and corrosion free.
"We are extremely pleased with Pipeline
Restoration's workmanship and the speed with
which they completed the job," Pike
says. "Our plumbing works great and
we won't be worrying about leaks anymore!"
About ACE DuraFlo and ePIPE(tm)
ACE DuraFlo's unique "in-place" pipe
restoration technology restores failing copper
and encrusted galvanized piping systems,
generally without the extensive demolition
that accompanies a traditional plumbing repipe.
The process involves air-drying of the pipes,
burst sanding and the application of an epoxy
barrier coating resulting in a restored epoxy
lined plumbing system called ePIPE(tm). ACE
DuraFlo offers a complete solution for pinhole
leaks and corrosion control for both commercial
and residential plumbing systems. For more
