A corroded section does not always mean a shutdown and a new spool. In many cases, composite pipeline repair restores full strength while the line keeps running.
PT Saka Nusa Persada reinforces pipelines with certified composite systems made from fibreglass, carbon fibre or aramid with high-performance resin. As a result, you avoid hot work, keep production online and extend pipeline life economically.
Why Choose Composite Pipeline Repair
- Zero hot work, so it is safe for hazardous and explosive areas.
- No shutdown: we install while the line stays under pressure.
- High strength, low weight, designed to ASME PCC-2 and ISO 24817.
- Cost-effective, because it costs a fraction of pipe replacement.
Defects We Repair
- External corrosion and pitting
- Internal wall thinning
- Dents and mechanical damage
- Weld defects
- Elbows, tees and hard-to-reach spools
- Vessels, tanks, risers and casings
Our Composite Pipeline Repair Method
- Assessment: UT thickness, pit gauge and visual inspection.
- Engineering design: then we calculate laminate thickness for pressure, defect depth and design life.
- Surface preparation: grit blasting or mechanical treatment to the required profile.
- Application and curing: wet lay-up or pre-cured systems, followed by QA checks.
- Documentation: finally, engineering report, records, calculations and material certificates.
Every repair also comes with a design life that you can plan around. In other words, you know how long the reinforcement will last and when to re-inspect it. Consequently, composite repair fits neatly into an integrity management programme instead of being a temporary patch.
Applications
- Oil and gas transmission pipelines
- Compressor and pump stations
- Refinery and petrochemical piping
- Offshore platforms and FPSOs
- Ageing facility rehabilitation
Composite repair also pairs well with our emergency leak solution for active leaks. For the repair standard itself, see ASME, publisher of ASME PCC-2.
