In the fast paced global oil and gas industry, technological advancements are key to staying ahead of the game. With a new composite repair product line named ‘Technowrap’ and new resin to offer to the market, Walker Technical Resources (WTR) is focused on staying ahead of the competition says managing director Graham Birnie.
“WTR provides comprehensive engineered composite pipe repair solutions to the oil and gas industry. The company has developed some of the most advanced composite products in its field, which are highly regarded within the oil and gas industry for their cost-effectiveness, quality and durability while maintaining strict compliance with industry standards,” said Birnie.
WTR’s product line consists of Technowrap Core, Technowrap 2K and Technowrap 3K primer. Technowrap 2K High Temperature, was developed to achieve temperatures up to 250 degrees C, an industry first. Technowrap 3K Primer enhances the pressure retention repair capability allowing WTR to repair pipelines operating in excess of 120 Bar while maintaining a margin of safety.
“The latest innovative technology that has been added to the existing product line is a composite repair system specifically for pipelines, ‘Technowrap’ Pipeline Repair System (PRS),” said Birnie.
‘Technowrap’ PRS, the result of over a year’s research and development, consists of a special design and architecture of E-glass fibres, the result being increased stiffness and strength and is available to the market now,” he added.
