| Service details | A leak from a piping system during operation can lead to the escape of line medium into the atmosphere and, depending on the severity of the leak, it could lead to an unplanned & costly shutdown. Wellube maintains a stock of semi-finished clamps and our in-house online leak sealing manufacturing facilities enables us to provide a quick turnaround to arrest leaks with minimal loss of production and environmental impact. Our selection of specially formulated compounds is compatible with most line mediums & temperatures encountered in normal plant operations.

Client Requirement
The client had a leak in the Tee branch which they wanted to be sealed without affecting the production of the facility.Solution Engineered
Based on the site conditions and measurements, our design team engineered a 62” x 4” Tee enclosure with strong back. We included a strong back to hold the original clamp on to the profile designed for the landing portion of the leaking 62” x 4” Tee, as this helps to hold the original clamp firmly without allowing any leak to pass after injection of the leak sealing compound. The clamp was manufactured within a span of 5 days and installed at the site within a 10-hour shift. The client was very pleased with our work as the project was completed without a shutdown.
The complete clamp set up prior to installation.
Benefits Delivered
