Composite repair for pipeline defects

When left unmonitored, excessive external corrosion, internal corrosion, erosion, abrasion, dents and cracks can all potentially lead to disaster. These pipeline defects when unrepaired, can cause expensive and potentially deadly consequences to asset owners and equipment operators. Therefore, these pipeline defects require suitable repairs or replacements, depending on the severity of the defects. Hot Works […] Read More

How to repair GRE Pipe Leak in 5 Steps?

GRE (Glass Reinforced Epoxy) / GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) / FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Pipes have high mechanical strength; however the material tends to be brittle and will weaken under strong impact. Leak will start to occur when the GRE/GRP/FRP piping system is subjected to heavy vibrations. Performing GRE/GRP/FRP pipe leak repairs for small diameters […] Read More

Considerations Before Performing Pipe Repairs

Pipe Repair Scenarios There are three main pipe repair scenarios to be considered before performing repairs; pipe subject to external metal loss (caused by corrosion or mechanical damage), pipe subject to internal metal loss (caused by corrosion, erosion or erosion/corrosion), and pipe fittings and components that are leaking. In addition to these main repair scenarios, […] Read More
