When the flow in the pipeline cannot be stopped and the leak is to be stop while the pipeline is operational, the maximum pressure for leak repair service is 30 psi. For higher pressure leak repair, please refer to our leak sealing service.

Leak repair can be used for routine or emergency leak repair, hazardous material spill control, structural reinforcement, sealing joints, rebuilding thinning pipe walls, corrosion control, abrasion protection, underwater repairs and electrical conduit repairs.

 

This service can be applied to under-pressure pipe leak repair. Besides leak repair, this service is also applied on corroded pipeline to strengthen the pipe and also prevent future corrosion from occurring. When pipes are thinned (due to corrosion, pigging, etc), this service helps to strengthen and bring the pipeline back to its design operating pressure.
