StopGap Emergency Repair kit

StopGap Emergency Repair Kit

The StopGap Emergency Repair Kit has been designed to be installed by your competent core team to tackle emergency repairs on live through-wall leaks and wall thinning sections on pipe work subject to an appropriate risk assessment.

A Fast, Effective Emergency Repair Solution

TEAM fully understands the problems associated with low pressure leaks and their potential effects to normal plant operation.

The combination of TEAM’s leak sealing and composite experience has resulted in the development of the StopGap Emergency Repair Kit – an ‘all in one’ solution for leak control, supplied in an easy-to-store, rectangular container.

Features

• Typically 12 layers of StopGap are all that is needed, with the specific requirements for the thickness and landing distance (overlap) clearly set out on the installation guide included.
• Fast-curing epoxy putty is provided and can be used on pin hole defects, external corrosion, and in conjunction with the StopGap reinforcement to strengthen lines where the clamp is not required.
• In addition to the repair items, the kit also includes a blank identity tag and fixing. This enables the user to record either the unique serial number from the kit or their own identification number, thus providing an easy reference for your temporary repair register.

Capabilities

An easy-to-fit steel repair clamp, sized to standard pipe diameters, has been designed so that live leaks can be sealed safely and reliably. It is recommended for use on Class 150 (20barg) systems, although it can also perform at higher levels.

Once the clamp is in place, the kit contains all you will need to profile the closing mechanism to enable the water-activated StopGap composite reinforcement to be applied.

Further Enhancement

As the temporary repair has no defined lifetime, the system has been developed to be compatible with our range of fully engineered composites and clamps.

This means that the repair can be upgraded to a designed lifetime solution using our engineered composite or leak sealing enclosures (clamps), subject to a design assessment or review.
