REPAIR AND REHABILITATION

To avoid unnecessary repair or rehabilitation, pipeline operators need methods to assess the significance of defects detected in the pipeline. If repairs are necessary, a strategy is needed to select the most appropriate repair or rehabilitation method. If the defects or damage are extensive a rehabilitation or repair programme may be required.

We have specified and been involved with every type of repair method at specific locations.

Methods for specific locations include:

• Grinding;
• Weld metal deposition;
• Full circumferential (welded) sleeves;
• Composite reinforcement sleeves;
• Mechanical clamps;
• Pipe sectional replacement.
