TDW Repair Solutions Mission
Our mission is to protect the public, the environment and the flow of energy. We deliver peace of mind and operational continuity through trusted partnership with pipeline owners. We provide safe, responsive and high-quality repair solutions so the world can keep moving.
Safety
The PETROSLEEVE®, promotes a safer site because no welding to the pipe surface removes concerns related to high CE, high strength steels, thin wall pipe sections, complex welding procedures, or finding landing areas for welds. The PETROSLEEVE will significantly reduce the risk of repairing defective pipelines while not affecting pipeline operations. The safety of every member of ours and your team is paramount in all installations.
Cost Evaluation
Using the PETROSLEEVE® P immediately reduces project costs. Alternative application options do not compete with our cost saving matrixes. The PETROSLEEVE offers cost savings on every installation.
Key Features
- Repair can be completed and ready coating and backfill in less than one hour.
- Permanently restores the integrity of the pipe.
- Testing continues to validate and expand the types of defects which can be permanently repaired using the PETROSLEEVE®.
- Maintains constant compression on the carrier pipe and never disbands from the pipeline.
- Prevents pipeline failure and arrests any defect growth.
- Used to repair corrosion, cracks, dents, gouges and various other construction and mill defects.
History
The PETROSLEEVE® was conceived after the industry required a permanent repair solution following an increased discovery of significant Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC). It was first installed in Canada and Canadian codes have recognized the unique capabilities of PETROSLEEVES to repair pipeline defects.
The vision for the compression sleeve is to immediately reduce project costs for our clients, promote site safety through low-risk pipeline repair options that prevent pipeline failures and to provide repair solutions that reflect client, community and environmental values.
After the installation of a PETROSLEEVE®, the pipeline owner can immediately confirm that their repair criteria has been achieved. You can have confidence in choosing the PETROSLEEVE as your pipeline repair method, knowing that zero failures have been reported for any installed PETROSLEEVE.
- Repairs occur while your pipeline remains in operation.
- The immense costs of cut-out repairs are avoided.
- You will repair more pipeline in less time.
- PETROSLEEVE® eliminates lost production costs.
- The completed repair is permanent.
- Your repair budget is greatly extended.
- Every sleeve comes with complimentary analysis/quality online software.
- PETROSLEEVE software reduces documentation costs.
- PETROSLEEVE exceeds code requirements.
Complimentary Engineering Installation Parameters (EIP) software calculates installation requirements, validates installation and provides post-repair documentation.
PETROSLEEVE® has more than 70,000 installations worldwide, making it the premiere repair solution in the pipeline industry.
