Pipelining covers a wide spectrum of material handling problems which require special protection from both the external environment and internal transfer of materials.
Typically pipelines carry oil, gas, water, waste and chemicals. This diversity produces a complex set of requirements in both the size and length of pipelines.
Internal coatings have been specially developed to protect pipe from corrosion and chemical attack. These coatings require specialist application and detailed records must be maintained for quality assurance purposes.
CoverCat have developed unique solutions for coating application in a wide range of environments, both in factories and on-sites world-wide.
The flexibility of the design of pipe coating systems is fundamental to this as each application can vary significantly and portability is often a major concern.
Internal pipe coating booms in factory applications are available up to 18m (55ft) in length and 3m (9ft) diameter.
The CoverCat Pipe Snake Unit is a flexible drive coating tool capable of operating in multiple bends and curves within a range of 115mm (4.5") to 1000mm (40") pipe up to 60m long at each insertion.
Trailer mounted in-situ lining equipment for internal coating of pipelines up to 250m (775ft) is commonly used in the water and waste water industry for relining and rehabilitation of existing pipelines.
