Updated Pipeline Repair Manual

This Pipeline Repair Manual is an updated version of the PRCI Pipeline Repair Manual, PR-218-9307 (AGA L51716), which was published 1994. The updated manual discusses response to anomaly or defect discovery, reviews repair methods, identifies appropriate repairs for various types of defects, and provides generic guidelines for use of various repair methods. CC Technologies has reviewed existing and emerging pipeline repair technologies and evaluated them in comparison with those in the current repair manual. The review was based on published literature, vendor literature, and a survey of industry experience. A large number of documents were obtained from the published literature and vendors, but only six pipeline operators responded to the survey of industry experience. Four operators provided written responses, while two provided verbal response to the interview. The revised Pipeline Repair Manual contains added and updated information on repair technologies gleaned from the literature, vendor publications, and survey of industry experience. The section on weld deposition repair and Appendix A on welding on an in-service pipeline have been revised based on the results of extensive research conducted by the Edison Welding Institute. No response was received to an inquiry regarding potential use of information from repair guidelines developed by Europeans, so the section on European repair methods contains minimal revisions. The generic repair procedure has been updated and is included in a separate file for easy use by pipeline operators. In addition to the printed copy of the manual, an Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version has been produced. It can be searched for rapid location of information on a specific topic. This manual does not identify or prescribe all repair methods for all defects or anomalies. Instead, the manual concentrates on commonly encountered defects and commonly used methodologies. Other repair techniques may be equally valid depending on the specific conditions encountered. This revised manual does not provide guidance on current regulations or on code interpretation. National and international codes and regulations change rapidly, and code interpretation is best left to individual companies. Footnotes identify specific sections of selected U. S. regulations.
