Pipe Wrapping:

McElligott’s are an approved applicator for the range of “Denso” products used for the likes of pipe wrapping and for use in protection on gas pipelines. For the transport of liquid and gaseous media, steel pipes are used. These pipes are protected against corrosion by coatings from polymeric materials which are impermeable to water and oxygen. Steel pipes for

 

buried pipelines are most commonly factory coated. For some parts of buried pipelines it is necessary to apply the coating material on site. Simple application and integrity of the coating under the given operating conditions are the most important criteria that have to be considered when choosing a suitable material.
When laying the pipeline in an open trench, field coating could be done on welding seams, bends, branches and installations like flanges and valves. In case of trenchless laid pipelines, only the welding seams have to be coated on site.

In case of buried plastics pipes an additional mechanical protection may be necessary to prevent damages caused by soil stresses.
