For easier replacement of underwater risers

 

Replacement Without Underwater Welding Need a fast replacement riser?

 

PLIDCO’s Riser Weld+Ends avoids underwater welding. It is socket-welded at the surface to the new replacement riser and lowered into the water. The diver cuts off the old riser, stabs the new fitting over the cut-off pipe, then torques the clamping and thrust screws for a complete leak-proof seal without welding. Our Riser Weld+Ends are designed to simplify the replacement of underwater riser on offshore oil and gas lines without welding underwater. The repair fitting has additional clamping and thrust screws to provide a seal for high pressure pipelines and for resisting extreme end-pull.  Special installation instructions are necessary for thin wall applications.
