Project Overview
A challenging bore path approximately 1200 long, under the
Oneida River, through cobble, was one of the most difficult soil
conditions the contractor had ever seen. On the first run, they
lost the carbide cone and the coating was scarred down to wall
loss. Things couldnt get much worse. An engineer suggested that the
cone was dragging at the tangent and the scarring certainly
indicated that he was correct. What to do
now?
They couldnt locate the carbide cone, and drilling another hole
could cost approximately 1.5 million dollars. Several of the crew
members had seen successful Scar-Guard applications across the US
with maximum protection so they called the
experts.
Step 1: Test pull of 300 section using Scar-Guard for visual
inspection PASS. Step 2: Wrap the first 300 then every weld to
provide maximum protection. Step 3: Sleep well knowing weve
protected the long term integrity of the pipeline!
