Bringing Reliability and Traceability to Engineered Composite Repairs

Engineered composite repairs have matured into a key tool for managing the in-service integrity of pressurized components. TEAM remains at the heart of the development and standardization of this technology. Our current focus is on bringing reliability and traceability to repairs, controlling every step of the delivery process to give solutions that can be relied upon with confidence.

ASME PCC-2 and ISO 24817 set out the key requirements for the engineered repairs but they need expert assessment and understanding to ensure they are complied with. TEAM has been members of these committees and involved in the development of these standards since their inception and our processes have been built so that compliance can be assured. This has enabled us to secure Type Approvals from third parties such as ABS and Lloyds Register.

Our expertise ensures you get the repairs you are looking for, assessing each case to identify whether a composite repair or mechanical solution is best suited to the problem and ensure the right option is proposed. We can provide detailed analysis of challenging defects such as pipeline dents and cracking. Once in service, we can support through collation and assessment of inspection data.

To provide the best service, we make use of both in-house and third-party repair systems that comply with the qualification requirements of the reference standards. We run repair calculations through our own engineering teams but can also provide checking of third-party calculations where required. Our technicians are trained to apply systems used and their experience is tracked to enable us to verify their competence. Installation documentation is retained enabling us to re-validate repairs as fit for purpose in future.

TEAM is committed to extending the understanding of repair performance and actively support independent test programs as well as joint programs with operators to support solutions to specific problems. Our objective is to be your partner in integrity, from assessment, through selection and installation to management in service.

Achieve the Resilience Required to Hold a Conductor Firmly in Place and Avoid Further Shock Damage

Traditional repair methods such as solid rubber, wood or plastic chocks are extremely unreliable –breaking, falling out or unable to be properly inserted at all. TEAM’s advanced cast-in-situ choking system technology is unlike any other repair method. It is designed to achieve the resilience required to hold a conductor firmly in place, prevent damage in the guides, and provide sufficient absorption qualities necessary to avoid further shock damage.

Each is fitted on-site to the exact required dimensions, eliminating all difficulties related to fitting. The result of utilizing the advanced cast-in-situ choking system technology is a tailored chock that fits perfectly, stays in place, and meets the wear resistance strength and ‘elasticity’ requirements needed to provide an ideal, long-lasting solution.

TEAM’s analysis and chocking service identify the extent of the conductor tube or riser fatigue, the degree of chocking required, and exactly where it’s needed. Our advanced cast-in-situ choking system technology is then manufactured to these specifications, then cast and installed on-site by our highly-qualified technicians.

Cost-effectively Repair and Restore Concrete Surfaces and Structures Within Your Facility

Deteriorating concrete structures can cause environmental as well as waste and disposal problems, increase shutdown or replacement costs and create a safety hazard for employees. TEAM utilizes state-of-the-art materials, repair methods, tools and trained technicians to repair and restore concrete surfaces and structures. We can help you identify structural concrete repair needs on a prioritized basis for predictive and planned maintenance, repair cracks before they become a bigger issue and determine the best and most cost-effective way to repair any concrete damage within your facility.

Concrete Repair Methods

Structural Repairs

Cracks in your concrete applications can result from thermal expansion, settling or shifting, design deficiencies, substandard concrete, and improper pouring or curing of the concrete during initial construction. TEAM has several unique methods for making structural repairs and restoring integrity to load-bearing concrete structures or steel reinforced concrete.

Injection Method

Two-component epoxies or special urethane resins are either injected or poured into cracks. Inside the crack, chemical and mechanical bonding occurs within the concrete itself. This bonding has strength similar to welding.

Spall Repair

Random spalling is the result of the freeze/thaw cycle, ground shifting, rebar corrosion, exposure to corrosive elements, or improper installation of concrete during original construction. Materials used for this type of repair include two-component, epoxy-based mortars that utilize silica and/or aggregate, polymer-modified cements or hydraulic cements, as well as additional materials specific to the customer’s repair needs.

Overlays and Toppings

Overlays and toppings are required on surfaces where scaling has taken place due to poor concrete composition, chemical attack, impaction or traffic wear. Surface preparation for these types of repairs may include water or sandblasting, acid etching and the application of primers.

Expansion Joints

While being built, every structure should be able to accommodate expansion and contraction. Sometimes, however, what was originally put in place to prevent cracking and spalling just isn’t enough. Forces not planned for in the original design, such as excessive shear, subsidence, or excessive traffic, can and will cause integrity failure. TEAM has the capability to install new joints quickly – in most cases before your plant’s productivity is impacted. We are able to design a wide array of expansion joints using epoxies, cold tar epoxies, polyurethanes, polysulfides, silicone, ethylene vinyl acetate (or EVA) and others.

Leak Stoppage

Whether by injecting a polyurethane grout or an epoxy, TEAM will immediately seal your leak before significant damage can occur to either concrete or the reinforcing steel within it.

Soil Stabilization

TEAM offers two effective and unique solutions for stabilizing your facility’s soil

  • Chemical Grouting: This technique requires the injection of chemical grouts into the soil or around the entire mass in order to achieve full stabilization. When injected, the grouts “solidify” the surrounding soils thereby increasing compressive strengths, filling the voids among the soil particles, and preventing the passage of liquids. This technique may also be used to increase load-bearing capacity, to create impenetrable barriers, to insulate shear walls or to isolate hazardous waste.
  • Particulate Grouting: This method of grouting is utilized when soil is not present, usually due to a flow of water carrying off the soil. As a result, voids that are left under, around or adjacent to a structure will cause subsidence or settling, thereby causing load bearing members to crack or delaminate the surrounding concrete. TEAM has had great success using this grouting solution for base foundations, washouts, rock fissures, voids in concrete, foundation leveling and tiebacks.

Coatings and Linings

Your facility’s storage vessels, both above and below grade, require back-up systems – protection against their contents or secondary containment in the event of their failure. Depending on your system’s specific requirements, TEAM provides the following coatings and linings:

  • Epoxy, novalac, vinylester and polyester coatings
  • Corrosion-control polyurethanes and epoxy systems
  • Reinforced systems
  • LinersPolyureas

The groove reduces the effective wall thickness and hence the pressure capability of the sleeve a small amount. The diagram illustrates the backing strip groove options:
Designed in accordance with ASME PCC-2 with ratings derived using ASME B31.8, TEAM’s range of welded type B repair sleeves are designed and manufactured to provide cost effective code compliant repairs for a wide range of pipeline damage mechanisms. Including:

  • Internal corrosion/erosion
  • External corrosion
  • Mechanical damage such as dents and gouges
  • Cracking

Welded sleeves have long been the go-to technology for pipeline damage due to the wealth of positive operating history and well-codified design and installation guidance.

TEAM’s welded pipeline sleeves can be ordered directly if the required sleeve wall thickness is known. Otherwise, TEAM’s standard rating tables can be used to evaluate the required thickness (tables available for review at back of catalog). Integrated in-house capabilities enable TEAM to carry out turn-key installation of welded sleeves including in-service welding and non- destructive testing. This turn-key approach ensures that projects are executed to the highest safety and quality standards, with zero hand-offs and a single PO.
