COMPOSITE LINEPIPE

It Pays to be Flexible
Flexpipe Systems manufactures and distributes a flexible, composite
pipeline solution for the energy sector. Our corrosion resistant, high-
pressure pipeline products help drive down installation costs while
increasing productivity. With over 65 million feet (19 million meters)
of Flexpipe Systems’ patented Linepipe technology and 90,000
fittings successfully installed throughout North America, Latin
America and Australia, our team of technical experts, engineers,
and field personnel will find the right solution for your next pipeline
project.

Modernizing pipelines in the field


All Flexpipe Systems products use the same principle: a
thermoplastic liner, a helically wound reinforcement layer and an
external thermoplastic jacket.

Our composite linepipe solutions are used in a wide range of


applications in which a corrosion resistant pipeline is beneficial,
including:
• Oil and gas gathering
• Water transfer, disposal, and injection
• CO2 injection
