In the world of field joint coating, CRC Evans’ team has an enormously successful track record and has earned a reputation for undertaking complex projects. The company’s full turnkey service capability helps to ensure the optimised delivery times that customers trust. The engagement begins early at the materials selection stage and continues throughout the project planning and delivery stages, with the support of state-of-the-art equipment, specialist personnel and purpose-built coating facilities. Already a leader in the application of anti-corrosion and insulation materials to field joints, for onshore and offshore pipelines, CRC Evans is now leading the way in developing new procedures and practices and innovative technologies that will further optimise delivery.
Enhancing efficiency through automation
As a market-leader in the offshore application of field joint coating systems, CRC Evans’ track record spans vertical (J-Lay) and horizontal (S-lay/multi-jointing) techniques, where increasing expectations for quality, reliability, and shorter installation times requires the constant evolution of technologies and methodologies. The growing emphasis on improving sustainability in offshore operations is driving the demand for increased productivity and consistency whilst managing high production rates. This has transformed the company’s approach to R&D towards technologies and processes that support automation, which provides fast repeatable cycle times and consistent quality across the application of materials, whilst the associated reduction in operator strain and fatigue is leading to improvements in operational safety.
