Get Wiser Feb 2020: Hyperbaric Welding of CRA Clad/Lined Pipelines
We had our first Get Wiser event of the year kicking off with a well-attended technical presentation from Sophie Yin on hyperbaric welding of CRA clad/lined pipelines. She showed us the journey of Woodside Energy‘s hyperbaric welding trials on CRA pipe coupons and the unique challenges that this brings compared to the more established hyperbaric welding of carbon steel pipe. Some considerations include gas composition within the hyperbaric habitat and the need for additional equipment within a congested space. Sophie’s work showed that this pipeline repair technique is feasible and forms important groundwork for future qualification.
Thanks Sophie!
