EUPEC provides
thermal insulation solutions for both shallow and deep water
pipelines at depths up to 3,000m. These coating systems ensure
optimum product flow through steel subsea pipelines. The coating
of pipes, bends, fittings and field joints provides efficient
end-to-end thermal protection.
Polyurethane-based
systems (PU)
These solutions offer low thermal conductivity, good bending
properties, high mechanical resistance and waterproof characteristics.
Combined with an anticorrosion layer, polyurethanes can be
solid, foam (PUF), syntactic (SPU), or glass syntactic (GSPU),
and are applied by injection moulding, rotational casting,
or by PU half-shells. They offer excellent cycle time performance
for offshore field joint coating operations and are suitable
for reeling, J-lay and S-lay installations. Polyurethanes are
also used for in-situ coating of assemblies such as jumpers,
sleds, P.L.E.Ts, F.L.E.Ts, ITAs, manifolds...
Polypropylene-based
systems (PP)
EUPEC’s multi-layer anticorrosion systems
are designed and applied in a wide range of thicknesses and
layers to meet insulation and subsea installation requirements.
Linepipe coating is applied by side extrusion and is completed
by the EUPEC advanced PP Injection Moulding®
technology for field joints. This world-class, reliable technology
provides integral protection and an excellent interface between
the parent linepipe coating and the field joint infill, and
is suitable for reeling, J-lay and S-lay installation.

Pipe-in-pipe
technology (PIP)
EUPEC provides global project management for
PIP fabrication including pipe coating, PIP assembly, PIP sleeve
installation, welding (12, 24, 36, 48 meters) and logistics.
ITP is responsible for the engineering, conception, supply
of the insulating material and the guarantee of the thermal
insulation values. The ITP-designed system offers very low
thermal conductivity and high strength under compressive load.
This technologically-advanced system is fabricated with one inner service pipe
wrapped with a micro-porous insulating material that is then installed inside
an anticorrosion-coated outer pipe that is swaged and welded to the inner pipe.
Our assembly plant benefits from direct deepwater quay and port infrastructures,
close proximity to our pipecoating plant, large storage areas, and on-site welding
facilities.
