At Icarus Composites, we are in the process of commercialising a pioneering new composite repair system - Composite Clamps.
This cutting-edge solution is engineered to restore structural integrity and seal leaks in pipes with unparralled efficiency. Crafted from advanced composite materials, it has potential advantages over both Composite Wrap Repairs and Metal Clamps.
Designed for versatility and ease of installation, they provide a seamless and long-lasting repair solution for various pipe materials and diameters, both subsea and topside.
Composite repairs offer numerous advantages backed by research and industry expertise. They provide greater corrosion resistance, reducing maintenance costs and prolonging asset lifespan.
With their lightweight nature, composite repairs alleviate loading on pipework, while their lower specific gravity reduces submerged installation weight. Compared to traditional repairs, composite solutions offer reduced lead time, eliminating the need for hot-works and potential explosion hazards.
Pre-fabricated composite clamps ensure swift installation, while rubber seals enhance leak containment. Composite clamps require less stringent surface finish requirements and can be easily removed without damaging underlying pipework, offering higher structural integrity and unparalleled efficiency in repair applications.
Reduced installation times: Clamps can be pre-fabricated reducing installation times compared to Composite Wrap repairs.
Effective leak containment: High durability and high chemical resistance ensures effective leak containment.
Surface finish less critical: Composite clamps work by applying pressure at the rubber seals to create a seal around the pipe. Not relying on chemical adhesion allows for less critical surface finish.
Easily removed: Composite clamps can be easily removed without damaging the pipework beneath.
Weight saving: Composite clamps are significantly less heavy than their metallic counterparts, preventing any significant loading on the pipework.
