System leaks are more than just a potential loss of product. They can be damaging to the environment, hazardous to health and safety, problematic in terms of repair and obviously expensive to manage. Patriot’s approach from the initial survey will be to discuss with the client, the best technical and commercial solution for the repair. This can be an on-line repair without the need to shutdown or and off-line repair which can be executed in a safer environment. Additionally, pipeline intervention in the form of “Hot Tapping” into an operating system also requires pressure containment and technical expertise.

The process of decommissioning requires many considerations. From the removal of potentially contaminated pipework to the uncoupling and packaging of equipment intended for re-use, there are a range of tools and skills required to complete the task. Disassembling and or cutting out of pipework, vessels or structures with a mixture of materials such as steels, plastics and concretes all require different equipment and process’s for their safe removal and management. Patriot offer a range of solutions which can be tailored to suit difficult or specialised applications, even if that solution involves bespoke equipment design.

A comprehensive range of specialist and ancillary equipment can be delivered for various pipework related projects. From mechanical completions and joint integrity through to testing and commissioning, Patriot can deliver a complete package of tooling that is user friendly and robust enough to stand the rigors of on site use. For clients who have little experience in the safe operation of this equipment, we can offer complete training or refresher awareness for all products.
