STOPAQ® developed an excellent longstanding single system engineering solution for pipelines, whereby the problem of the joint coating being the weakest link is no longer an issue. By using the FAST system, the joint coating provides the equivalent amount of protection as mainline coating does.
The coating system can be tailor-made for each project and easily applied wherever the projects takes. For instance, it can be applied in existing shops, but also by mobile “drive thru concept” containers.
Even on board of offshore lay-barge vessels, STOPAQ® can provide brushing cleaning machines and application equipment for the STOPAQ® systems meeting your demands. No matter whether the pipe is spirally or longitudinal welded, STOPAQ® FAST systems prevent air enclosures, MIC issues and the possibility of cathodic disbondment or other related failures.
