Customer identified an area of corrosion on their JP-51 pipeline, resulting in reduced wall thickness. The affected section was believed to have thinned to 5.31mm. A solution was needed to repair and restore the asset.
Performing the on-site repair ensured no costly downtime and removed the risk of further degradation to the pipe, which would have caused serious issues and prolonged shutdown period.
The area was grit blasted to minimum surface profile, cleaned down and made dust free. The defect area was reprofiled using Belzona 1111 and allowed to become stable for an estimated 1 hour. Finally, our Belzona SuperWrap II system was applied over the complete circumference area in 6 layers, before being wrapped with consolidation tape. The following morning the consolidation tape was removed and a full inspection carried out by a Belzona supervisor.
Repairing the pipe before further corrosion would have resulted in lengthy and costly shutdowns. Repairing rather than replacing the affected area was a huge cost saving
