Project Details
Following a recent successful demonstration of the Viscotaq™ Cold Applied System for a leading petroleum company in Oman, it was decided that this system would be used on a 16″ diameter water main that crosses underneath a road.
The pipeline asset owner is one of the leading oil (Energy) producers in Oman and has built a very good foundation of ever more efficient production, use of latest technology, ethical business and social responsibility”. Al Haditha Petroleum Services S.A.O.C. is an Omani Super Local Community Contracting Company (SLCC) established in 2011 who provides services to Oil & Gas Clients with valued construction solutions using expertise in design, procurement, construction and commissioning of fl owlines and inter-fi eld pipelines.
Denso provided a detailed product application training session for the contractor, before they installed the Viscotaq system on to the water pipeline, so the whole operation went smoothly and was finished in good time.
The Denso/Viscotaq system consists of an initial wrap of ViscoWrap HT™ Tape followed by a wrap of Viscotaq™ PE Outerwrap. Each layer was holiday tested in turn to make sure it was sound before a layer of Denso™ Glass Outerwrap was applied at the the soil/air interface sections to provide additional mechanical protection.
