Versatile Belzona composite SuperWrap II tackles complex geometries

Following completion of the Belzona SuperWrap II installation, a new solution was implemented to place the pipes into position, fit for purpose. Belzona 1311 (Ceramic R-Metal) was adapted by applicators to create irregular loading bearing shims between the pipeline and support. Often used for metal repair and protection against the effects of erosion and corrosion, these reinforced plates were installed to transfer the load of the pipe, demonstrating the material’s excellent compressive strength.
Inclusive of grit blasting the defected areas, each Belzona SuperWrap II installation was finished within 6 hours, leaving sufficient cure time for each application. Once the entirety of the repair was completed, it was necessary for pressure testing to be carried out. After successful assessment indicated that the pipe pressure had been restored to its original levels, without any irregularities, the pipe system was set back into production. Due to the initial planning, combined with the correct equipment and application management, there were no issues during the timeline of the project, consistent with the customer’s specified shutdown period.
Primarily, all phases of the project were handled by one contractor, allowing for a consistent approach that ensured the application was successfully achieved within the allotted schedule. Furthermore, this was significantly aided by the ease and speed in which Belzona’s versatile composite wrap system could be applied. Since installation, the customer has indicated that the application is functioning well and is set for periodic inspection, in line with the specified design life of 20 years. Between 2010 and 2015, a total of 48 Belzona SuperWrap applications have been commissioned by the customer, across various offshore oil and gas platforms. This figure has subsequently risen, after three repairs executed in August 2015 were completed, serving as an indication of the product’s strength and the customer relationship developed.
