WrapSight® – Temporary Repair Inspection & Management
Patent pending – Please refer to the Innovations / Patents and Trademarks section of the Website for further information
The Challenge
Corrosion and other anomalies on piping are often temporarily repaired with various types of composite wraps. The ‘wrapped’ repairs are difficult to inspect, resulting in a requirement for a permanent repair by a due date, irrespective of the integrity of the temporary repair. This work normally requires a plant shutdown with consequential additional POB, cost and operational disruption.
The Solution
A unique inspection technique has been developed and class approved which enables the integrity of the temporary repair to be assessed whilst in-service.
The WrapSight® methodology developed by Inversa and EM&I uses a combination of advanced NDT methods including Backscatter Computed Tomography (BCT) to determine the condition of the repair material and the underlying piping. A prioritised Inspection Plan optimises cost, operational efficiency, and programme.
The complete Temporary Repair Management Service comprises, Temporary Repair Register (set-up and management), Risk Based Inspection Plan, In-service Inspections, Reports with Recommendations, Repair Supervision and Close Out Inspection Report for compliance certification.
The Benefits
- WrapSight avoids unnecessary repairs saving at least 25%.
- WrapSight does not impact normal operations
- WrapSight improves shutdown planning and reduces POB
- WrapSight is ABS approved and supports your Temporary Repair Management programme.
