As well as offering technology which will identify corrosion or give a clean bill of health to undamaged flexibles, Flexlife is working to devise solutions for instances when infrastructure has been damaged. As a result, a further new product, FlexGel™ has been developed. The oil-based gel is non-soluble in water and has a density that can be adjusted depending on the application. It was devised to halt corrosion of damaged areas of flexible risers or umbilicals within caissons and has been successfully deployed in the North Sea for an operator.
Another repair method is the Armadillo dynamic riser repair system which offers a unique approach to outer sheath repair, specifically designed to repair instances of outer sheath damage on flexible pipes.
