HJ3 Composite Technologies has been awarded a significant contract by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as part of its initiative to support small businesses developing innovative solutions for environmental challenges. This grant is one of 21 awarded across the country, and it highlights HJ3's role in advancing infrastructure resilience through advanced materials.
Specializing in high-strength carbon fiber and glass fiber systems, HJ3 has become a leader in restoring aging infrastructure. The company is now working on an automated process that applies carbon fiber to reinforce corroded water pipelines—significantly improving efficiency and reducing repair time. According to CEO Jim Butler, this new method can boost productivity by up to five times compared to traditional techniques.
The EPA’s investment comes at a critical time, as aging infrastructure continues to pose serious risks. Pipeline failures have become more frequent, leading to costly emergency repairs. By using carbon fiber, which has been used in pipeline repairs since the 1980s, HJ3 offers a cost-effective and durable alternative to replacing entire sections of concrete or steel piping. Their technology has already been successfully deployed in over 10,000 applications worldwide.
HJ3 is currently scaling up its operations, moving from repairing 100 feet of pipeline at a time to 1,000 feet. A successful pilot program has demonstrated the viability of the system, and the company is preparing for full commercial deployment. The initial $100,000 grant will be used to finalize prototypes, with plans to secure an additional $300,000 for Phase 2 of the project.
This award underscores HJ3's commitment to innovation and sustainability. As infrastructure challenges grow, so does the need for smarter, faster, and more efficient repair solutions. With its cutting-edge technology and proven track record, HJ3 is well-positioned to lead the way in modernizing critical infrastructure systems. For more information, contact HJ3 at 1-877-303-0453.
