Tank repair by applying composites is getting more and more popular. Often the roof of a tank is affected by corrosion. Corrosion due to the medium (might be aggressive) or exposing to the weather conditions. Also the tank wall itself might be exposed to corrosion. Often cracking or degradation of the wall is a problem. In the Netherlands and Belgium we as CTE BV are providing these services by installing carbon patches. The case study below is describing the repair of cooling water tanks suffering from internal corrosion at a steel plant.
Cooling water is an important part of the process of making steel. Without proper cooling a plant can come to a standstill. Working inside a tank requires a special training (confined space) on top of the normal installation certificate.

Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) is a minimal impact trenchless method of installing underground utilities such as a pipe in a relatively shallow radius along a prescribed underground path using a surface-launched drilling rig. HDD offers significant environmental advantages over traditional cut and cover pipeline installations. The technique is routinely used when conventional trenching or excavating is not practical or when minimal surface disturbance is required.
Protecting the welding joints of the 40” diameter pipeline was a challenge because the pipe was pretreated with FBE (Fusion Bonded Epoxy) and not all adhesives would stick to this material.

An active leak in a natural gas transmission pipeline is a nightmare for every gas distributor. It creates an environmental undesirable and dangerous situation that needs to be fixed as soon as possible. Stopping the leak was the first step in the process of repairing the pipeline. In this case the girth welds of the pipe were showing weak points and in one particular case there was a small leak. After the leak was stopped by using a low-profile leak sealing solution provided by CTE BV the engineered carbon fiber epoxy based system was wrapped around the repaired area. The particular area was secured for future leakages.
Besides stopping an active leak also the winter circumstances did ask for a professional approach towards a successful repair according ISO 24817.
