Farm and Agriculture Pipe Repair with SylWrap

Farms and agriculture sites contain many different types of pipework, all of which undergo repair and strengthening using SylWrap Leak Repair Kits and the SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment System with very little disruption to operations.

The abrasive environment of a farm along with the presence of heavy plant equipment means pipework is at greater risk of damage and wear, making pipe repair a frequent occurrence.

Which is where a farm can benefit from keeping a SylWrap Pipe Repair Contractor Case on-site. The Contractor Case makes up to six permanent live leak repairs to water, waste, chemical, heating and slurry pipes of any size or material.

As soon as leaks or busts occur, a worker simply retrieves the Contractor Case. They find everything needed to make an instant repair in under 30 minutes with no formal training required.

The Contractor Case has WRAS approval, meaning it is certified as safe to use on pipes and fittings carrying drinking water. Repairs can be made pressure resistant to 30 bar. Using Superfast Titanium Epoxy Putty achieves temperature resistance up to 280ºC

Away from leak repair, agriculture additionally uses the SylWrap Pipe Refurbishment System (SPRS) to strengthen pipelines. The SPRS is a four-stage process. It rebuilds worn and degraded pipes. It also protects again corrosion, abrasion, wear and impact damage.

Extending the lifespan of pipework using the SPRS before it fails maintains critical infrastructure and avoids having to undertake more costly leak repairs further down the line.

Pipe repairs using the SPRS can be designed to conform to ASME PCC-2. This is an important standard for the repair of in-service pressure-retaining equipment and piping.
