Repair of Steel Pipelines

For the better part of the past 20 years the pipeline industry has used composite materials to repair corrosion in gas and liquid pipelines. The goal for making these repairs is to restore damaged sections of pipe to performance levels that, at a minimum, are equal in strength to the original pipe. The primary use of composite materials has been to repair corrosion, although research dating back to the mid-1990s has also been conducted for repairing dents and other mechanical damage.
