Honeybrook/NRI Composite Pipeline Integrity Repairs Solutions and service offerings are unrivaled in this highly specialized field. Ranging from carbon fiber to fiberglass to a variety of hybrid combinations, when used with our proprietary resins, our reinforcing systems deliver unparalleled product performance and conform to ASME PCC-2 and ISO TS 24817 standards. That is why, since 1982, hundreds of companies around the world have trusted composites created by our Technical Partner to solve their infrastructure rehabilitation needs.

Composites are typically non-metallic fibers (fiberglass, carbon fiber, Kevlar, etc.) saturated with an adhesive matrix material (polyurethane, epoxy, vinyl ester, etc.) used for a wide variety of industry and marine applications to repair and restore integrity and pressure ratings to corroded or defective pipes in pipelines, vessels, tanks, columns, beams, or ships by external wrapping or patching. Composites is known for their high strength, light weight, low profile, and easy applications compared to other typical repair methods.

Honeybrook/NRI composite pipeline maintenance solutions include but not limited to the following;

Syntho-Glass^® XT

The Syntho-Glass^® XT system is a unique pre-impregnated, bi-directional composite used to repair and reinforce pipelines or structures against internal and external corrosion. Our pre-preg system ensures proper fiber-to-resin content ratios which are crucial to reliable performance.

Syntho-Glass® system has proven to be reliable enough for the U.S. Navy, the Coast Guard, and international natural gas and oil industry conglomerates to require Syntho-Glass® availability for all pipe repairs

Installation of Syntho Glass^® XT on a client’s facility.

Typical Applications of the Syntho-Glass^® XT system

• Pipeline Integrity
• Transmission and distribution pipelines
• Oil and gas risers
• Girth welds on vessels and pipelines
• Elbows, tees, and flanges
• Process piping: chemicals, oil, gases, water, and steam
• Atmospheric corrosion

Benefits of the Syntho-Glass^® XT system

• Water-activated polyurethane resin reduces composite preparation time by over 50%
• Installation in wet, rainy, or submerged environments ensures ease of application in virtually any situation
• Simplicity and flexibility permit application to irregular shapes and geometries, while eliminating diameter specific inventory
• Full factory engineering consultation and support, ensuring safe and successful repairs

Thermo-Wrap™

Thermo-Wrap^TM is a custom engineered composite system utilizing a high strength, bidirectional, woven fiberglass tape in conjunction with NRI’s proprietary Thermo-Poxy^TM epoxy system for the repair and restoration of pipes operating at elevated temperatures. This operator qualified engineered system was designed to conform to and recognized by ASME PCC-2, ASME B31, ISO TS24817, DOT, API, and CSA Z662 standards for nonmetallic reinforcing solutions, thus ensuring product application integrity.

Thermo-Wrap is specifically designed for repair applications which require the composite to maintain the high design strengths in high temperature environments, while still curing under room temperature conditions.

Typical Applications of Thermo-Wrap™

• Flare lines
• Steam piping
• Girth welds, elbows, tees
• Chemical processing lines
• Anywhere elevated temperatures are of concern or expected

Benefits of Thermo-Wrap™

• Inspectable with radiography
• High temperature rating with an ambient cured epoxy
• No heating or post-curing required
• Full factory support
• Code compliant
• Patented polymer inspection capability
• Non-woven architecture allows for scalable increases in ply thickness

Thermo-Wrap Inspectable™

Thermo-Wrap Inspectable^TM, Honeybrook/NRI’s custom-engineered repair system utilizing a fiberglass, composite-reinforced-coating, now features a thicker, non-crimped, glass fiber architecture and nano-tube-enriched-resin that combine to yield higher-strength characteristics, resulting in fewer layers per application.

Thermo-Wrap is used to repair corroded or damaged piping with harsh chemical services and elevated temperatures. Using common radiographic inspection methods, owners and operators have the ability to monitor the integrity of an “in-service” Thermo-Wrap Inspectable repair through the course of its intended design life.

• Girth welds, elbows, tee
• High temperature environment

Benefits of Thermo-Wrap Inspectable™

• Inspectable via radiography
• High temperature rating with an ambient-cured epoxy
• Non-shielding
• Patented polymer inspection capability
• Design conforms to ASME PCC-2, ASME B31, ISO TS24817, DOT, API, and CSA Z662 standards for nonmetallic reinforcing solutions

Composite Guard™FP

Honeybrook/NRI’s Composite Guard™FP System utilizes nano-technology to create an integrated fire proofing system for application on high risk piping within fire proofing zones in refineries and on offshore platforms. The Composite Guard™FP System protects the composite repair under extreme fire conditions by creating a barrier between the external flame temperature and the composite repair’s outer substrate. The extremely low thermal conductivity of the barrier prevents the composite repair system from reaching temperatures exceeding the maximum temperature rating, preventing degradation or failure of the composite.
