Technowrap Splashzone™ - 12" Gas Riser

Overview

A 12" gas riser had a 1 meter (axial length) temporary clamp in place that had been in service longer than its 2 year design life. The client wished to reinstate the integrity of this section of the riser. An engineered TechnowrapTM composite repair, encapsulating the clamp, was proposed to provide an extension to the design lifetime of this section of riser until a replacement could be fabricated and installed.
