Technowrap: An Industry Staple in Pipeline Maintenance

By Ewan Robertson,  Director, Composites, ICR Group

When a product becomes a verb, you know it’s made its mark. That’s exactly what we’ve seen with Technowrap over the years.

In the industry, the phrase “let’s Technowrap it” isn’t just a catchy line; it reflects the confidence and trust operators and others have placed in a solution that has consistently proven its reliability in pipeline and structural repairs.

For over two decades, Technowrap has been a cornerstone of ICR’s offerings, transforming challenges into opportunities and becoming a highly regarded go-to solution for critical maintenance.

Our focus is on delivering solutions that tackle operational needs while aligning with the industry’s long-term sustainability goals. Building on the success of the current Technowrap product range, we are developing  – a new innovation that offers faster, more efficient solutions with significant environmental benefits.

ADIPEC 2024’s net-zero theme is a timely focus for the energy sector, and Technowrap’s alignment with these objectives highlights its relevance in today’s energy landscape.

The emphasis on decarbonisation and efficiency is not just a trend; it’s a crucial requirement for operators and other stakeholders committed to sustainable operations.

By choosing Technowrap, operators can reduce carbon emissions by up to 66% compared to traditional steel repairs, providing a clear pathway to minimising their environmental impact.

In addition, the time and cost savings associated with Technowrap are compelling.

Unlike conventional steel replacements, which often require welding and extended shutdowns, Technowrap enables seamless application without halting operations, ensuring productivity remains high. It’s a triple benefit – saves time, reduces costs and is better for the environment.

ICR’s Quickflange technology further complements Technowrap’s capabilities by cutting emissions by 57% and reducing repair time by up to 80% through its weld-free design, which is particularly advantageous in hot work-free environments.

This suite of products underlines ICR’s commitment to providing efficient, effective and sustainable maintenance options for the oil and gas industry.

Our growing presence in the Middle East, supported by strategic partnerships, enables us to deliver these innovations directly to operators. With over $3.5 million in contracts recently secured, our solutions are actively supporting operators in their decarbonisation efforts. These partnerships showcase our ability to provide tailored solutions that align with the region’s energy transition goals, strengthening ICR’s position as a trusted partner.

At ADIPEC 2024, we will be showcasing Technowrap, Quickflange, and INSONO, a non-intrusive composite inspection technology that detects anomalies in composite repairs, ensuring long-term integrity and reliability.

ICR is advancing the shift to sustainable operations by offering smarter, more effective ways to maintain and optimise assets. Each solution is designed not only to enhance efficiency but also to minimise environmental impact, reflecting ICR’s commitment to continuous improvement and responsible innovation.

This approach sets ICR apart as a forward-thinking partner, delivering value that aligns with the modern priorities of the energy sector.
