Pipeline Reinforcement

RUTH’RFORD has proven strength in the area of Pipeline rehabilitation and leak repair using Strong back pipe reinforcement system. The Strong back reinforcement system offers an engineered cost effective, advanced alternative to metal sleeves. The strong Back system can be applied in any weather condition and to any parts of the pipe inclusive of joints, bends and tees.

The strong back structural pipe repair system utilizes a combination of proprietary load transfer/coating epoxy and a specially woven glass fiber mat which is impregnated with water activated resin. Restoration of the lost pipe strength is achieved by an initial application of the load transfer epoxy, which predetermined numbers of layers of the Strong Back tape are wrapped.

Pipeline Reinforcement And Repair

RUTH’RFORD offers a full line of steel repair sleeves that allow pipeline owners and operators to secure defective sections of pipe that are cracked, corroded (internally or externally), dented, damaged, or leaking. The sleeves are available in sizes from 2-inch through 48-inch and can be utilized in a half sole configuration, which encompasses half the diameter of the pipe, or a full sole configuration to create a full-encirclement sleeve.

RSL Operators can select a sleeve made from one of four types of steel to accommodate their specific applications. Pressure-rated steel sleeves can be used to repair leaking and non-leaking defects, while the structural-grade models offer reinforcement and support for structurally damaged areas.

All RUTH’RFORD steel repair sleeves feature a wall thickness equal to or greater than the maximum allowable operating pressure required by the pipe being repaired.
