Pipeline Services FAQ

Answers to common technical queries regarding our specialized interventions.

Does 3,000 bar hydrojetting cause internal pipe erosion or damage?

No. Water jetting relies on kinetic shear force to fracture scales rather than abrasive impact. Since water is softer than steel wall material, it cleans down to bare metal without causing metal thinning or surface pitting.

Can you pig pipelines with reduced-port valves or miter bends?

Yes. We utilize specialized ultra-flexible foam pigs and multi-diameter bi-di pigs engineered specifically for unpigged lines containing short-radius bends (1.5D) and restrictions.

What surface preparation standard is required before 3LPE field joint wrapping?

We perform grit blasting to achieve ISO 8501-1 Sa 2.5 cleanliness with an anchor profile of 50–90 microns, followed by pre-heating via induction coils to ensure 100% epoxy primer cross-linking.
