Seal for Life Industries’ Covalence-Dirax coating system used in India
Seal For Life Industries recent project used the fiberglass reinforced Covalence-Dirax field joint coating system for the girth weld protection of 3LPE coated pipelines. The pipelines were laid by HDD (Horizontal Directional Drilling) methodology in the prestigious Ganga river crossing project.
The project is part of the Numaligarh Refinery Limited’s Crude Oil Pipeline project. Engineers India Limited (EIL) was hired as consultant. The Ganga river crossing, in the State of Bihar in India, has become the longest HDD in the country. The HDD project has been executed by Trenchless Engineering Services, one of the premiere HDD contractors in India. The entire project was accomplished within 76 days, 15 days ahead of the planned schedule. The Covalence-Dirax field joint coating system has been protecting the girth weld from corrosion in India for HDD pipelines for more than 36 years.
