When a long-standing customer discovered significant corrosion during an external visual inspection, they turned to XCEL for quick and reliable solutions. Leveraging our expertise, we performed corrosion evalua-tion, remediation, and pipeline restoration.
Challenge
The client needed assistance to effectively:
- Assess the scope and severity of the corrosion across multiple piping lines.
- Replace damaged piping to minimize operational downtime.
- Apply long-term protection to prevent future corrosion.
Solutions
XCEL’s team took a step-by-step approach to repair and prevent corrosion onsite. The team:
- Collaborated with the client’s team, who pre-planned insulation removal to save time.
- Conducted visual inspections, pit measurements, and used Digital Radiography (DR) to
assess corrosion severity. - Replaced severely corroded piping sections to restore system integrity.
- Sandblasted damaged areas to clean and prepare surfaces for coating.
- Applied industrial-grade coatings tailored to the client’s specifications.
- Installed foam glass insulation to ensure thermal stability and prevent future corrosion.
Outcome
The project delivered lasting results and XCEL’s team:
- Successfully replaced and restored compro-mised piping, eliminating immediate risks.
- Created an anti-corrosion barrier with special-ized coatings and insulation.
- Completed the project on schedule with mini-mal disruption to operations.
