This project required the use of GRE (glass reinforcement epoxy) piping. These pipings are used for water lines offshore because of the high corrosivity of sea water.
After some engineering calculations and checks, glass reinforcement epoxy seemed to be best fit as it has a very low corrosion rate. On this project, Topline installed and replaced different sizes of GRE piping ranging from 4 inch, 8 inch, 10 inch, 24 inch and 6 inch pipes on a client’s offshore platform.
Topline carried out the procurement of materials, engineering and interpretations. On arrival at the site, installations were carried out by the use of a scaffold and the necessary tools which were required for this activity.
And at the tail end, the recommended coating options were used to coat the pipeline to cover it from external corrosion. We were able to execute this project safely without any injury and right on time within the client’s schedule. The client is happy and till date, topline has been in charge of executing GRE projects for this client. All welders used for these activities were pre qualified in line with the Total GS standard. All engineering and alignment drawing were submitted to go through the necessary approval stages before the job commenced, A close out report was also submitted and all other technical documentation were submitted to show the completion of the project
