Corrosion-proof cladding for offshore pipeline Arc Energy Resources has added a corrosion-proof cladding, using 16 plates of 3mm Alloy 59, to an 8.65m long, 16in diameter Superduplex riser for a pipeline company. Fabrication facility completed Arc Energy Resources has announced the completion of a Fabrication Unit to service its customers in the water, wastewater, instrumentation, sub-sea, oil and gas industries. The most recent example is a contract for 35 pipeline bulkheads destined for the Tweedsmuir Development in the North Sea. The insulated bulkheads, which consist of inner and outer pipes with 12-18in and 8-14in nominal bore diameters, are designed to maintain the temperature of the fluid in sub-sea pipelines to ensure an uninterrupted flow. They were manufactured by W Maass from high yield carbon steel forgings and their internal surfaces

were clad by Arc Energy with a 3.5mm coating of Inconel 625. W Maass is also currently designing and manufacturing a special pipe-in-pipe 'Hot Tap Tee' component for the same project, which will allow a future tie-in to the pipeline, should it be required by the operator. This component will also be fully clad by Arc Energy. Commenting on the relationship, W Maass managing director David Toone said: "Over the twelve years we have worked with Arc Energy, the quality of their cladding and their service has always been consistently high. We now source all our weld overlay cladding from them and they in turn cooperate with us on contracts, so when we win they get the cladding order." Arc Energy sales director Alan Brown agreed that the relationship works very well and adds that the two companies developed their partnership before partnerships were fashionable.
