I'm looking to repair some large diameter (42", 30" and 20") steel RAS pipes. It needs to be a medium term solution, as we can't keep up with "patchwork" and they are scheduled to be replaced in just under 10 years. Weaknesses are at the welds and throughout the pipe wall.
Ideally, I'd like something external, so I don't have to take these out of service. As far as I can tell, internal cast-in-place solutions aren't really suitable for such diameters anyhow. I'm seeing the Henkel's Loctite Composite Repair System pop up a lot, but I don't see any case studies relevant to my type of service.
Does anyone have any experience with such repairs? Could you please share the method you used and how satisfied you were with the outcome?
