THOUGH PIPELINE COATINGS ARE DESIGNED TO REMAIN BONDED TO STEEL FOR DESIGN LIFE OF PIPELINE --- IN REAL LIFE COATINGS TENDS TO FAIL PREMATURELY OR AFTER THE DESIGN LIFE THE PIPELINE OPERATOR STILL WANTS TO OPERATE THE PIPELINE AND WOULD REQUIRE RE-COATING

PIPELINE COATINGS FAILURES

FAILURE OF COATINGS LEAD TO CORROSION

CONSEQUESES OF CORROSION

PIPE RUPTURE

SEVERE CORROSION

PIPE RUPTURE

FAILURE FROM THE SEAM

WHY DO COATINGS FAIL ?

WHY DO COATINGS FAIL

IMPROPER COATING SELECTION
IMPROPER COATING APPLICATION LAYING DAMAGES PREMATURE FAILURE OF COATING MATERIAL

IMPROPER CATHODIC PROTECTION

WHEN COATINGS START TO FAIL WHAT STEPS ARE TO BE TAKEN

ENHANCE CATHODIC PROTECTION

RECONDITION / RECOAT
REPLACE THE PIPE LINE

RECONDITION / RECOAT

VARIOUS TECHNOLOGIES OF RECOATING
