Mission
The TDW mission for the PETROSLEEVE® is to consistently deliver reliable, dependable and exceptional client services, produce high-quality, rigorously tested and meticulously documented products and continuously provide support and training to our incredibly valued employees.
Safety
The PETROSLEEVE® or Type-C (compression) Pipeline Repair System 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® Pipeline Repair System 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® Pipeline Repair System immediately reduces project costs. Alternative application options do not compete with our cost saving matrixes.
Immediate Savings: The PETROSLEEVE® offers cost savings on every installation. This is achieved in part because:
- Repairs occur while your pipeline remains in operation
- The immense costs of cut-out repairs are avoided
- You will easily 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 free analysis/quality online control software
- Free software reduces documentation costs
- The PETROSLEEVE® exceeds code requirements
Key Features
- Repair can be completed and ready for coating and backfill in less than 1 hour
- Permanently restores the integrity of the pipe.
- Complimentary (EIP) Engineering Installation Parameter software calculates installation requirements, and provides validation and documentation of successful installation.
- Testing continues to validate and expand the types of defects which can be permanently repaired using the PETROSLEEVE system.
- 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.
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® Pipeline Repair System as your pipeline repair method, knowing that zero failures have been reported for any installed PETROSLEEVE®.
Cost and Safety Comparison: In a simple study reviewing both Cost Factor and Safety Risks inherent different methods of repairing defects, the PETROSLEEVE® clearly demonstrated immediate and cumulative project cost savings.
Complimentary Engineering Installation Parameters (EIP) software calculates installation requirements, validates installation, and provides post-repair documentation.
Today, with more than 60,000 Type-C sleeve installations worldwide, this is truly the industry's gold standard in pipeline repair.
