A New Generation of FRP Laminates for Repair of Pipelines in the Gas Industry
Publication: Pipelines 2012: Innovations in Design, Construction, Operations, and Maintenance, Doing More with Less
Abstract
The development of a new type of carbon and glass FRP laminate is introduced. The laminates offer unique solutions for strengthening deteriorated pipes. Independent tests have demonstrated that the laminate can bridge an opening as large as 24 inches without the need for a supporting pipe. The first application of this product to repair a cast iron gas main was recognized by the Trenchless Technology's 2011 Project of the Year Award.
