PLCS Limited’s unique corrosion protection solutions, based on a modern polymer technology, are designed to protect transmission pipelines, including oil, gas, water, utilities, and district heating systems.
Steel piping is typically supplied with a factory-applied protective coating, but the ends of each length are left unprotected to permit joining. PLCS Limited’s corrosion protection solution covers the unprotected join. Supplied as a kit, PCLS Limited’s solution consists of a heat shrinkable patch, ready cut to size, patch adhesive (if required), and a special closure patch. Following welding and testing, the joint surface is prepared, the heat-shrinkable patch wrapped around and shrunk to size, and the closure patch is applied to complete the seal.
Covalence Pipeline Heat Shrinkable Products
Various types of heat shrink sleeve products installed on a range of different pipe materials, illustrating the versatility, and range of material available from PLCS.
HTLP80 heat shrink sleeve joint protection system, is subjected to stringent quality assurance testing, in accordance with the clients field weld joint inspection coating procedures.
Suitable for pressurised systems
PLCS Limited’s corrosion protection is suitable for pressurised systems, and can be relied upon in extremely hostile environments, including the sea bed, where oil pipes, in addition to constant immersion in salt water, may need to withstand internal temperatures of up to 100 degrees centigrade. Installed on oil rigs, and subject to abrasion by the waves, PLCS Limited’s heat shrinkable materials provide protection for up to 100 years.

Anaerobic Internal Mainspray Treatment
Anaerobic Internal Mainspray TreatmentThe equipment is fed into the pipeline until the built-in sond locates a joint, then a low viscosity sealant is applied, through a specially designed spray head, with pin-point accuracy. The sealant penetrates the joint, and cures anaerobically to provide a cost-effective repair.
