Remote Underwater Leak Containment
Offshore pipelines, conductors, and caissons operate in harsh splash-zone environments where corrosion leads to pinhole leaks that progressively weaken structural integrity. Traditional diver-supported subsea repairs are slow, costly, and carry elevated safety and environmental risks, allowing minor defects to escalate and threaten production stability and asset reliability. Merit Technologies now offer a diver-less solution that can be deployed directly from the platform to arrest leaks immediately.
Helicoid Remote Subsea Seal Epoxy Sleeve® (RSS)
The Helicoid Remote Subsea Seal Epoxy Sleeve® (RSS) is another Merit Technologies proprietary system – a diver-less underwater leak containment tool engineered for the rapid sealing of pinholes, cracks, and through-wall leaks in subsea or splash- zone pipelines, conductor and caissons. The system integrates two primary components – a remotely activated, vacuum assisted piston mechanism that establishes seal at the leak area and the Helicoid 100 Epoxy Sleeve – which, when combined, provides long-term corrosion protection and structural reinforcement at a very cost-effective price point.
