WRAP Resources Asia Pacific Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based “cold works” goods and
services specialist, with expertise throughout repairs and upkeep, including
pipeline rehabilitation, pipe support implementation and wider plant
maintenance. We excel in “cold repairs”, particularly for oil and gas sectors. A
defining point of this excellence is our ATEX certified cold grinding and
cutting tools in Zones 1 and 2 areas, utilised for remedial and preventive
maintenance operations. At WRAP, we realise that unscheduled plant shut downs
are enforced for safety concerns when traditional metallic repairs require hot
welding for expended gas and oil pipelines. However, our non-metallic repair is
provided as a full turnkey cold work solution, thus guaranteeing that
strengthening pipelines and pipe support involves no heat-reliant procedures.
WRAP’s world-class services significantly eradicates external corrosion and
structurally rehabilitates the asset, whilst also totally erasing the need for
costly plant shut downs. Our Neptune Research Inc. composites, together with the
use of Safety Tools Allmet, enables us to perform maintenance under a “cold work
permit”, thus providing a cost efficient solution and boost safety to a higher
level. Part of WRAP’s pipeline rehabilitation service includes HDD field joint
protection. In these procedures we focus on the complete protection of field
joint coatings and prepare the pipe for the pull through by providing a robust
mechanical protection over the field joint coating. It is evident that the
integrity of composite repairs depends largely on how well the compounds are
adhered to the surface of the pipe. We have studied that the profile of the
prepared surface significantly affects the adhesion integrity of the composite
repairs. However, many of the classified sites cannot be shut down for use of
hot works surface preparation methods as grinding and sandblasting and as a
consequence, many of the repairs were not performed satisfactorily due to poor
adhesion to unclean surface. Through matching epoxy/resin based solutions with
“cold grinding” methods, we are able to deliver an unparalleled process that
ensures quality application and workmanship.
