A block unit for repairing flow passage facilities is provided for
permitting a desired repair operation. A method of repairing flow passage
facilities using the block unit is also provided. The block unit includes
an inner plate defining an inner surface, an outer plate disposed along a
peripheral edge of the inner plate, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs
for reinforcing the inner plate and the outer plate. The block units
adjoining in a circumferential direction are joined together with bolts
inserted through both circumferential end faces of each the block unit
and nuts fitted on the bolts to form a short tube within a flow passage.
The short tubes are connected in a longitudinal direction to form a
continuous tubular assembly having an outer diameter smaller than an
inner diameter of the flow passage. A grout material is injected into a
clearance space formed between the tubular assembly and the flow passage.
