QuakeWrap’s engineering services and quality materials have been recognized by a number of awards from
various organizations as listed below.
2011 |  Trenchless Technology's 2011 Project of the Year Award | This coveted award recognizes QuakeWrap's unique carbon laminate invention (PipeMedic) for "CIPP of Leaking High-Pressure Cast Iron Main". The laminates were used to bridge a 2-ft gap in a steel pipe -- remotely creating a pipe where there was no steel pipe present! You can read more about this project by clicking here. |
2010 |  Award of Merit from International Concrete Repair Institute (ICRI) | This Award was presented to QuakeWrap, Inc. for Emergency Repair of Mile Long Cast in Place Reinforced Concrete Penstock at El Encanto Hydroelectric Power Plant. The pipe was located a mountainous terrains of Costa Rica. This project holds the world's largest single application of FRP in retrofit of a major pipeline. You can read the award announcement here. This article published in several magazines including the ICRI's Concrete Repair Bulletin and ACI's Concrete International. |
2010 |  Award of Merit in Structural Engineering from Structural Engineers Association of Arizona (SEAOA) | This Award was presented to QuakeWrap, Inc. for Blast Strengthening of US Army Building Using Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Technology. An article published in Structure Magazine details the testing program that was done prior to this retrofit. This article published in Public Works Digest, May/June 2009 describes some details of the project. |
2009 |  Trenchless Technology Project of the Year Award (Honorable Mention) | This Award was presented to QuakeWrap, Inc. for Emergency Structural Rehabilitation of a Mile-Long 7-ft Diameter Pipeline. The pipe was leaking at thousands of locations. The entire repair of the pipe was completed in a record 15 days. You can read the award announcement here. This article published in AWWA's Opflow, describes some details of the project. To view the article for Trenchless Technology's Project of the Year Award, click here .

2006 | 2006 Award of Excellence in Structural Engineering (Retrofit) by the Structural Engineers Association of America | This award was for retrofit of the Historic Fox Theater in Tucson, AZ. Many of the unreinforced masonry walls in this building were retrofitted by bonding glass or carbon FRP fabrics to them. The History Channel made a documentary program about this project that aired on March 26, 2005. You can view that video by clicking here. |
2004 |  2004 Award of Excellence in Structural Engineering (Retrofit) by the Structural Engineers Association of Arizona | This project involved flexural strengthening of glulam beams in a high school gymnasium in Coolidge, AZ. The beams in the locker room were retrofitted with carbon strips and carbon fabric for increased live load capacity to allow placement of bleachers for spectators.
