Fabrication Maintenance Services - Composite Repair Systems

CAN are approved installers of Armawrap products and have a close working relationship with NICC Ltd, the manufacturers of Armawrap. CAN have successfully installed Armawrap for a number of clients, often in difficult access locations such as the splashzone.

Armawrap is a wraparound corrosion protection system specifically designed to provide an easily installed "cold-work" retrofit encapsulation system for the cladding of subsea pipelines, vertical risers and piles in the splashzone. It can also be supplied with an anti-foulant coating.

Armawrap's elastomeric properties and closure system provide the unique facility of removal and subsequent replacement to facilitate routine inspection of the substrate. Hoop tension imposed in the tough resilient outer skin acts to force the inner layer against the surface of the substrate, thereby causing the gel and its corrosion inhibitor to form a close association with the substrate. The thixotropic nature of the gel allows it to exude into any surface irregularities, thereby providing a seal and terminating the supply of oxygenated water to the riser, pipe or pile surface.

The Armawrap also has the facility to act as a carrier for the Intersleek anti-fouling system which is cold bonded to the outer skin and specifically formulated to prevent the build up of marine growth throughout the operational life of the system.
