4″ CIP Line Repair

Composite repair to seal leak and reinstate integrity to the line.

The Problem

After the platform had run a pressure test, it had became apparent that a 3 mm hole had appeared at the 6 o’clock position of a weld on the 4″ CIP line.

The Solution

Metalyte Pipeworks have a bespoke system of repair, that seals defects and holes and further installs integrity back into pipe lines and vessels.

Metalyte Pipeworks plugged the through wall defect and built up any external corrosion using a combination of chemical resistant epoxies and high compression resins. The calculated area of repair was then coated with a Kevlar reinforced epoxy and over wrapped with a water activated composite.

The repair also gets two coats of uv / chemical resistant protective paint.
