Hi,
Looking to see if anyone knows of a company that offers repair to piping using an internal swaged sleeve?

ZGot a situation with a 2" NB CS pipe coming out of the ground, has corrosion in the first 100mm or so below ground. Flannged connection above ground provides access, so trying to avoid the cost of excavation $$$$. Atmospheric operating pressure, amine service. I'm convinced there's a company out there that offers this, but unable to find to date. Looked at Quickflange, but don't think they offer being able to swage a sleeve approx 500mm below ground internally inside the pipe.

Looking for a long term fix,

Any help greatly appreciated.

Well if it's atmospheric pressure you could consider either internal spray or perhaps a swaged PE insert which then expands after a short time back to the original OD.

An external sleeve is much easier and I'm struggling to see a better long term solution than replacement of a 2" line. You'll always struggle to seal the internal face in a reliable manner.

The utility industries have a variety of internal coating / repair techniques so water line repair and sewage line repair might throw up some better information.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.
 
Is the corrosion mechanism of the 100mm pipe reviewed and understood?

Since 2" pipe isn't too large, in order to maintain a minimum cross section for the atmospheric operating service, the pipe repair with the internal coating could be an good option to consider. Of course, a long term fix is to replace the corroded pipe with the CS or SS pipe if suitable.
