Teikoku Gekijyou (Imperial Theatre)

Pipetector has accomplished taking care of corrosion inside domestic tap and air-conditioning water pipes at a 55-year-old commercial building. It has one of the most renowned musical theatres across the nation: Teikoku Gekijyou (Imperial Theatre). Besides the theatre, it contains　restaurants, business offices, museums and other tenants.

The facility was suffering from corrosion-relating problems, such as frequent water leaks. To deal with the issues, the building installed Pipetector 34 years after the construction. After 21 years have passed since then, Pipetector still protects this venerable structure with its anti-corrosion effect. As a result, the facility has had no water leaks or discoloration issues until today, February 2021.

The 34-year-old commercial building was planning to carry out various refurbishment works, including replacing its galvanized steel, copper, and vinyl pipes with stainless steel pipes on a year-by-year basis.

However, the facility soon faced a conundrum. Many of the tubes were fixed inside the walls and ceilings. It was inevitable the building shut down the entire operation to implement the works.

Then, the architecture decided to use Pipetector to address red rust-relating corrosion inside its three domestic and air-conditioning pipeline systems.

 Thanks to Pipetector, the facility succeeded in protecting its water pipework without implementing arduous and financially burdened pipe replacement. The building also did not need to turn off the water supply or halt its operation.
