Case Study: Composite Repair Extends Pipeline Life by 15 Years

A major offshore operator in West Africa faced a critical challenge: a section of their export pipeline had experienced significant external corrosion, reducing wall thickness below minimum allowable levels. Replacing the pipeline section would require a production shutdown costing millions in lost revenue.

OIM Group proposed an engineered composite repair solution designed to ISO 24817 standards. The repair was installed by our rope access team while the pipeline remained in service.
