Advances in composite materials have enabled numerous applications for oil and gas infrastructure repair and maintenance. Add to the list TSG/Pipe Repair with Sandwich Plate System (SPS), a new offering from UK-based TSG Marine.

The technology provides an alternative to crop-and-replace pipe repair, eliminating potentially hazardous “hot” work and allowing the pipeline to remain in service during repairs.

The TSG system makes use of the SPS developed by UK company Intelligent Engineering.
