At the start of any project, our first focus is on the end date. Every stage of a project obviously has a knock on effect on the next stage and this is why our involvement throughout, from the Mechanical Completion to Commissioning works to provide a fully integrated solution.

System leaks are more than just a potential loss of product. They can be damaging to the environment, hazardous to health and safety, problematic in terms of repair and obviously expensive to manage. Patriot’s approach from the initial survey will be to discuss with the client, the best technical and commercial solution for the repair. This can be an on-line repair without the need to shutdown or and off-line repair which can be executed in a safer environment. Additionally, pipeline intervention in the form of “Hot Tapping” into an operating system also requires pressure containment and technical expertise.

The process of decommissioning requires many considerations. From the removal of potentially contaminated pipework to the uncoupling and packaging of equipment intended for re-use, there are a range of tools and skills required to complete the task. Disassembling and or cutting out of pipework, vessels or structures with a mixture of materials such as steels, plastics and concretes all require different equipment and process’s for their safe removal and management. Patriot offer a range of solutions which can be tailored to suit difficult or specialised applications, even if that solution involves bespoke equipment design.
