Curapipe has successfully developed a breakthrough leak curing solution for pinhole leaks and cracks that typically go undetected by conventional leak detection methods.
A true innovation in the pipeline industry, the Curapipe solution is the world's first viable pipeline repair solution launched remotely and applied internally. A pig train carrying Curapipe's revolutionary curing substance is inserted upstream via a pig launcher. As the pig train passes through the pipeline, the curing substance penetrates, seals and cures pinhole leaks and cracks.
Deployed as a preventive measure for the pipeline industry, Curapipe’s solution cures undetected leaks and cracks (below SCADA system thresholds) before they become enlarged and intensify product discharge.
Delivering a range of benefits, the Curapipe solution:
- precludes spills and product loss
- prevents costly downtime for repairing fully grown leaks (>1% of flow)
- decreases inspection/monitoring (direct, hydrostatic, airborne, ground patrols)
- reduces pipeline maintenance costs
- minimizes negative regulatory, environmental and political impact
- improves pipeline integrity for regulatory compliance
