IK Topside was approached after a client found a corroded flange on two large tanks at a refinery plant in Norway. Our team of engineering experts designed two different types of clamps and delivered a total of 37 repair clamps, which were successfully delivered and installed in Q3/Q4 2022, saving the client time and money. See the 3D Model Image above.

Discipline Lead for Pipe Intervention, Roald Kolnes, said, “This was an exciting project for us because of the high volume of identical clamps and to prepare an efficient installation plan for the site operation to avoid many crane operations.”

In December 2021, a client contacted IK Topside to supply a bolted clamp solution with 25 25-year lifetimes, avoiding welding. This project was not straightforward as the design criteria included 20 bars of dangerous gas and tough restricted manhole access.

Due to the restriction in access, IK Topside team of specialist engineers designed their first 4 quarter sections pipe clamp with bespoke engineered assembly and rigging equipment for safe and efficient installation on site. To achieve a 25-year lifetime in this rough environment, it was agreed that super duplex material was to be chosen for this application.

The installation was successfully completed within the timeframe, and the client was pleased with the outcome.

Project manager Roald Kolnes said, “To engineer, fabricate and install a huge 4-quarter section pipe clamp is complex. Especially when you have a short delivery time and are involved in welding and machining in super duplex material. I am extremely proud of our brilliant engineers and skillful mechanics that has followed this project from start to finish on site.”

Each testline can be set up on its own. The HPU-CC has an integration with the customer’s ERP system, which means that ERP data will be sent to the unit automatically. Increased productivity will be achieved by testing hoses in one test bay and loading in the other.

IK Topside team will do the installation—a great example of collaboration between customer and partner, identifying and solving the customer’s challenge together.

At the start of April, IK Topside received an urgent call for assistance from an international Oil and Gas Operator who had discovered issues with two of their pipelines in the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).  

Operating a 3/4″ branch/12″ header at a pressure of 170 bar and a 3/4″ branch/12″ header at 200 bar, IK Topside designed and fabricated a solution in-house and then installed the two emergency repair clamps.
