In reinforced concrete pipelines with steel casing, leaks are often worsened by diameter differences, steps and irregular surfaces that complicate active sealing. In a project carried out by Aqualia Santander, the repair of a DN800–900 section with a 33 mm diameter mismatch was completed using a custom-made TRANS coupling, able to absorb tolerances and act as a clamp in a highly irregular geometry.
