Splash Zone Repair Systems

The Helicoid 50 Epoxy Sleeve® is our patented in-house technology that addresses the issues and concerns of corrosion in the splash-zone area of Oil and Gas platforms. The diver-less installation eliminates any costs associated with the use of divers & their support vessels, providing immense cost savings, as well as drastically reducing HSE considerations; a repair system well suited to today’s Oil & Gas market conditions. Some of its benefits include:

Various pipe diameters (4” to 40”) and a length up to 10.0m underwater
Completely diver-less, online Installation (no shut-down)
ASME PCC 2 2008 Certified
Design life up to 12 years thus extending the life of the pipe.
Able to restore damaged pipe to pipe’s original full strength or higher.
Cost saving ratio up to 1:10 compared to cut & replace method

The solutions we provide for the repair of splash zone pressure elements – Helicoid 50 Epoxy Sleeve®, Helicoid 100 Epoxy Sleeve® and the Helicoid RSS Epoxy Sleeve®

Helicoid 50 Epoxy Sleeve®

The Helicoid 50 Epoxy Sleeve® system provides a robust solution for proactive corrosion protection and minor structural enhancement of pipelines. The Helicoid 50 is ideally suited for pipelines experiencing or susceptible to external corrosion, offering a preventative measure and minor reinforcement for areas with up to 50% wall loss. This system utilizes a helically-wound strip of carbon-fibre reinforced, mechanically- interlocking Polyethylene (PE) to create a protective annulus of 25mm – 40mm around the pipe. This annulus is then filled with a specially formulated epoxy, forming a durable barrier against corrosive elements and providing a degree of supplementary strength. Its in-situ application minimizes disruption, providing an efficient and reliable method to extend pipeline lifespan and maintain operational integrity.

Helicoid 100 Epoxy Sleeve®

The Helicoid 100 Epoxy Sleeve® system is a high-performance engineered solution for critical pipeline repairs, effectively addressing issues such as leaks, severed sections, and substantial external wall loss. It is capable of repairing areas with up to 100% wall loss, restoring pipeline integrity, sealing leaks, and bridging severed sections. Utilising a helically-wound, carbon-fibre reinforced, mechanically-interlocking Polyethylene (PE) strip, it creates a 25mm – 40mm annulus around the pipe. It offers superior reinforcement and enhanced UV resistance, and when combined with our specialized high-strength epoxy, provides exceptional structural integrity. This robust system provides a reliable and efficient method for returning damaged pipelines to service, minimizing downtime and maximizing safety.
