Due to the harsh corrosion environments within the oil and gas industry, there is a high demand for FRP composite products.
Our engineering team provide expert insight into the design and inspection of new and existing composite plant structures. DSA’s involvement produces cost-efficient solutions without compromising on safety. Specially designed systems can combat corrosive fluids, pressures, temperatures, flames, adverse soil and weather conditions.
Due to the high cost of steels and other exotic metals, composites are becoming the preferred option across the oil & gas industry. FRP, GRP and GRE boast lower prices in manufacturing, installation, and with a properly maintained asset management program will lead to significantly lower overall life cycle costs.
DSA is involved in the design and inspection of a range of FRP assets and applications within the industry, including:
- Composite repair of steel pipelines
- Pipe stress analysis of offshore platform piping systems
- Potable and utility water pipelines to replace MIC affected stainless steel lines
- Carbon capture FRP ducting & associated equipment
- Firewater response systems
- Onshore processing structures
- Offshore processing structures
- Seawater Cooling
- Process piping
- Drainage
- Steam-injection
