Supergrip have successfully supplied a bespoke pressure retaining pipeline repair clamp to a major oil company on a fast track delivery schedule.

The repair clamp was designed to be diver installed on a 14” NS subsea riser, bridging an ANSI-600 flanged joint. The clamp was fitted with a dual high integrity seal arrangement, pressure test verification capability and full subsea coating system complete with cathodic protection. A removable certified lifting frame was also supplied to assist the diver installation onto the vertical riser.

Sheldon Jeffrey, project manager at Supergrip said “This project has been an excellent example of the service we can provide to our clients. This particular repair clamp although of a bespoke nature in that it is bridging a vertical flanged connection was designed, manufactured and tested within a 12 week window and was succesfully installed subsea 15 weeks from contract award. It was delivered on time with a full set of approved documentation and within budget. Our engineers also provided offshore technical support throughout the installation process. A fantastic achievement by our team. We are delighted with the project execution and look forward to working with our end client in the future as we have developed an excellent working relationship during the course of the last three months as we addressed the challenges offered”
