PIPELINE SURFACE PREPARATION

PIPELINE CLEANING

Surface preparation is the most critical factor to ensure the coating will bond properly to the pipe wall. The in-situ coating process involves a combination of mechanical and chemical cleaning. The I.P.S. process has proven its self to be an outstanding method for obtaining the proper surface preparation and is capable of producing a SSPC-SP 5/NACE No. 1 white metal surface.

The I.P.S. process can be utilized for newly installed pipelines as well as rehabilitating existing pipelines

PIPELINE COATING

IPS’ multi-stage In-Situ preparation and coating process has proven to be extremely effective in completely and uniformly covering the entire length of pipeline with a continuous epoxy barrier.

CORE VALUES

Our core values are not just words on a page to us. Our core values are what we believe in and we hold a zero-tolerance policy against anything that comprises our values. If a job can’t be achieved in tandem with our core values, then that job is not worth doing.

PIPELINE REHABILITATION

IPS’ utilizes a multi-stage system that consists of both mechanical and chemical cleaning. Prior to coating, IPS will determine that the proper level of cleanliness has been achieved.
