Traditional methods of pipe repair are effective, but costly and difficult to facilitate. Hot work often necessitates a halt in production, the shut down of process equipment and the establishment of a safe welding environment. Not to mention the expense involved in bringing in a team of highly-trained specialists.
Key Benefits
- Increases site safety by avoiding hotwork
- Reduces downtime compared with welding operation
- Reduces maintenance costs by eliminating requirement for welding personnel and equipment
- No specialist installation tools required – standard bolting
- Integrated test port eliminates requirement for additional tooling
- External lock and seal assembly avoids flow restriction and swaging of parent pipe
Cold work solutions like mechanical pipe connectors are more cost-effective and significantly reduce the duration of maintenance projects, making them a popular choice for pipe repairs, tie ins and the capping of redundant pipe work.
