The Problem
A section of process piping developed a significant leak that had previously been contained with a clamp. While the clamp offered a temporary fix, the pipe showed further deterioration along its length, leaving several feet vulnerable to failure. To prevent unplanned downtime and ensure long-term reliability, a more permanent solution was needed.
The Solution
Our team mobilized early to the site, removed the existing clamp, and fully sandblasted the pipe to prepare the surface. A composite wrap system was applied from the clamp location to the far end of the pipe, with multiple layers of reinforcement to restore structural integrity. The active leak was injected and sealed, and the final wrap was coated to provide long-lasting protection. The comprehensive repair extended the service life of the piping system, eliminated reliance on temporary clamps, and offered the customer a cost-effective solution that avoided replacement and downtime.
