Project Details
A major oil and gas operator in Malaysia required an urgent pipeline repair for their refinery plant, where two small sections of pipe needed to be cut and replaced.
The client was looking for a solution to protect their pipes from harsh soil conditions which contained corrosive substances such as salts, acids, and moisture. In addition to this, the underground pipelines were also experiencing thermal expansion and contraction, ground movement, and other dynamic forces over time.
After Viscowrap™ HT and Viscotaq™ PE Outerwrap were selected due to their extensive features & benefits, they engaged their in-house contractor to perform the job. Application training was provided by our Malaysian distributor, In-Situ Maintenance Services. The Job was completed in less than a day and the client was very happy with the results.
Pipe sections were first wrapped with Viscowrap™ HT.
Viscotaq™ PE Outerwrap was then applied for mechanical protection.
