5.0 INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 Evaluate and Classify the Extent of the Pipe Defect or
Damage
When a pipe is determined to be damaged or defective, the Field Team Member performs the
following steps:
5.1.1 Evaluate the damaged or defective pipe and classify the extent of the
damage/defect (see Appendix A for definitions):
• Leaking or non-leaking
• Severe
• Superficial
• Longitudinal extent
• Deep or shallow
5.1.2 Classify the type of damage or defect:
a) Manufacturing defect
b) Environmental/corrosion
c) Construction caused
d) Damaged by outside force
e) Involves seam or girth weld
f) Involves body of pipe only
5.1.3 Report findings to the Field Team leader.
5.1.4 Determine type of repair best suitable for the pipe based on operational
limitations, the extent of the damage, and the type of damage.
5.1.5 Initiate a CPL-3 per MIP-103 for documentation.
5.2 Select Repair Method

5.2.1 If a temporary repair is needed, see Section 5.3.
5.2.2 Consult the matrix in Appendix C for an evaluation of permanent pipe repair
options. Consider the following criteria before making a permanent repair:
Page 403-6
a) Regulatory compliance requirements;

b) System downtime;
c) Repair materials, labor and downtime costs;
d) Scheduling;
e) Safety;
f) Best method of repair for the specific situation, and;
g) Positive isolation or double block and bleed requirements.
5.2.3 The Asset Integrity Team’s Pipeline Integrity Technologist, Technical Services’
Field Technical Support Representative or other subject matter expert assistance
may be needed to select and develop the best repair technique based on:
• complexity/uniqueness of the repair technique;
• experience within the Field Team with similar repair techniques; and
• extent of the damage/defect to the pipeline.
The Field Team leader determines whether technical assistance is necessary, and
if so, consults with the appropriate subject matter experts.
5.2.4 If the defect will be removed by hot tapping, refer to the Hot Tapping procedure
(for liquids, Appendix 500A in the EPC General Procedures manual and for gas,
Section 3.8 of the Core Gas Pipeline O & M manual). If the damaged or
defective section of pipe will be replaced, refer to the Pipe Replacement
procedure (MIP-404).
5.2.5 Any repair method that varies from those listed within this document or that
varies from the installation procedures listed within this document must have
written approval from the Technical Services Manager.
5.3 Temporary Pipe Repairs

In situations where a temporary repair is necessary, a permanent repair must be performed
within one year of the temporary repair. The following methods may be used to temporarily
repair a pipeline defect:
• U-bolt and clip (saddle).
• Mechanical split sleeve clamp (full encirclement, e.g. Plidco sleeve type): This type
of repair may either be permanent or temporary, but to be considered permanent it
must be fully welded except where it meets other guidelines listed in Section 5.8. For
some offshore crude oil locations, non-welded Plidco-type clamps are allowed as
permanent connections. See Section 5.8 for installation guidance.
Page 403-7
Pipe Repair
Note: With either type of repair clamp, the gasket material used must be
compatible with the product(s) in the pipeline and the pressure
rating must be adequate for the system.
• A composite sleeve may be used as a temporary repair for internal corrosion.
Composite sleeves are considered a permanent repair for some external corrosion and
dents. See Section 5.10 for full installation guidance.
5.4 Site Safety Plan and Work Order Approval

5.4.1 The Person-in-Charge completes a site safety plan detailing how the pipe repair
will be performed. The Field Team leader approves the pipe repair plan with
input from the Asset Integrity Team (Pipeline Integrity Technologist), Technical
Services, or other subject matter experts if necessary.
5.4.2 The Field Team leader prepares or delegates the preparation of a work order.
Depending upon the estimated cost of the pipe repair project, the Field Team
leader approves the work order or submits it to the Profit Center Manager for
approval.
5.4.3 After obtaining approval for the pipe repair, the Field Team leader ensures that
the following are completed as appropriate:
• bid specification;
• contracts for services and materials;
• material and equipment acquisitions;
• operational requirements (reduce pressure and/or flow rates);
• plans meet regulatory requirements; and
• Contractors and company personnel are all OQ qualified on work procedures.
5.5 Permits and Notifications

The Person-in-Charge ensures that the following notifications are made and appropriate
permits are obtained. Contact the Permit Coordinator for assistance if needed.
5.5.1 Determine whether permits are required by law, regulation, easement, or other
requirement. This person will contact the proper authorities for required permit(s)
and submit the necessary forms to secure the permit(s). After receiving the
permit(s), review and communicate the conditions of the permits with the
appropriate personnel to ensure that all conditions are understood and properly
executed. If you need assistance with permitting, contact the Permit Coordinator.
Page 403-8
Permits may be required for, but not limited to, pipe repairs in the following
locations or scenarios:
a) county roads;
b) state roads;
c) waterways/water crossings;
d) railroads;
e) where there is stormwater;
f) where there is hydrotest water;
g) where there is flaring or burning;
h) within city or town limits;
i) inside a refinery or plant facility;
j) Native American lands and reservations;
k) state and/or federal lands, parks and game reserves;
l) interstate highways;
m) environmentally sensitive areas, including wetlands; and
n) construction areas where Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) or National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) water discharge permits are
required.
For maintenance work permit locations, see HES-101.
5.5.2 Notify landowners of the pipe repairs.
Note: Generally, right-of-way easements permit Company the right to
enter a right-of-way to do maintenance work without notifying the
landowner. However, to maintain good landowner relations,
Company personnel should always contact the owner or tenant
before entering the property.
If requesting permission to enter land that is not a Company right-
of-way, the team member should inform the landowner of the work
that needs to be performed and ask about special requirements and
the best property access. Company personnel must ensure that all
gates are closed, no livestock escapes, all roads are left in good
condition, and property damage is minimal.
Page 403-9
Pipe Repair
5.5.3 Notify the Customer Service Center (CSC) of the details of the pipe repair plans.
Request CSC to issue pipeline orders for the pipe repair work as necessary.
5.5.4 Notify the One-Call system, appropriate agencies and utility companies as
necessary.
5.6 Pipe Preparation

5.6.1 Support the pipe to prevent movement during installation. Remove as little dirt as
possible underneath the pipe and use sandbags or skids to minimize stress
concentration.
5.6.2 Remove all coating from the section of pipe to be repaired. Sandblast or wire
brush the external surface of the pipe to remove dirt, rust, scale and other foreign
materials. In addition, at each end of the sleeve-to-pipe connection, machine buff
at least three inches on each side of the connection.
Note: If the coating contains asbestos, follow the Safe Handling of
Asbestos Containing Material procedure (HES-703).
Warning: Grinding must not be used to clean the pipe or sleeve.
5.7 Patch Installation

Although welded patches are an industry accepted method for repairing certain
pipelines and have been used for repairing Company pipelines in the past, this
method is not recommended for Company pipeline repairs today or in the future.
Existing patch repairs may be acceptable only if they meet all current regulatory
specifications and applications
5.8 Mechanical Applied Full Encirclement Sleeves

5.8.1 A mechanical applied full encirclement sleeve is a sleeve manufactured with
matching halves and sealing elements for both longitudinal and circumferential
sealing of the pipe. It has stud bolts and nuts for installation onto the pipeline. In
most cases, mechanical applied full encirclement sleeves used for permanent
repairs must be welded to the pipe. On offshore crude oil pipelines, non-welded
Plidco-type clamps are allowed as permanent repairs where they eliminate the
need for lifting the pipeline to the surface. However, welded sleeves are still the
preferred method for repair.
Mechanical applied full encirclement sleeves do not need to be welded for the
following:
a) Temporary repairs.
b) DOT 192 regulated gas transmission pipelines which are:
Page 403-10
• submerged offshore pipelines; or

• submerged pipelines in inland navigable waters when the encirclement
sleeve meets the design requirements of the pipeline for which it is
installed.
c) DOT 195 regulated submerged offshore crude oil pipelines when the
encirclement sleeve meets the design requirements of the pipeline for which it
is installed.
5.8.2 Prepare the pipe as described in section 5.6 of this procedure.
5.8.3 Coat all exposed surfaces of the gasket with a lubricant that is compatible with the
seal and product.
5.8.4 Clean and lubricate all studs and nuts, and prove the nut is free and turns easy
prior to the installation.
5.8.5 Assemble the sleeve loosely around the pipeline to one side of the pipeline defect,
matching the mating identified ends recommended by the manufacturer. Slide the
sleeve over the defect, being careful not to damage the girdering and packing.
Center the sleeve over the pipeline defect. Hand tighten the studs and nuts.
5.8.6 All studs and nuts should be uniformly torqued as recommended by the sleeve
manufacturer. Maintain an equal gap between side bars while tightening the
bolts.
5.8.7 Complete assembly by rechecking tightness of all the studs to the manufacturer's
torque recommendations.
5.8.8 Depending on the manufacturer, the side bars are generally gapped approximately
1/8" when the sleeve is fully tightened.
5.8.9 After the mechanical sleeve has been installed and the pipeline has been re-
pressured, check the sleeve to ensure there are no leaks. Use soap or a
combustible gas indicator (CGI) for testing. If leaks are detected, return to step
5.8.7 above.
5.8.10 If the sleeve will be welded to the pipe, complete the following steps:
5.8.10.1 Reduce the pressure by one third of the normal operating pressure to
allow the sleeve to share hoop stress. In cases where the product or
operation does not allow the pressure to be dropped by one third,
consult the Asset Integrity Team (Pipeline Integrity Technologist) or
Technical Services before continuing.
Warning: Product flow must be maintained to permit cooling and prevent the
build-up of gases.
Page 403-11
Pipe Repair
5.8.10.2 After the pressure is reduced, complete final tightening of the sleeves.
The gap of the longitudinal weld groove is critical. The gap must be
1/16 inch on each side. Reposition the sleeve or grind the edges to
achieve the proper gap.
5.8.10.3 Weld the sleeve per the Pipe Welding procedure (MIP-407) and the
sleeve manufacturer’s recommendation.
The sleeve installation welding procedure is a low hydrogen API-
1107 process. Use absolutely dry low hydrogen electrodes and
carefully control the size and shape of the circumferential fillet weld.
The leg length of the fillet weld should not be less than the wall
thickness of the pipe. Strive for a concave faced fillet weld, with
streamlined blending into both members; avoid notches and
undercuts. The smoother and more streamlined the weld, the greater
the resistance to fatigue.
Note: The worst possible shape would be a heavy reinforced convex weld
with an undercut.
5.8.10.4 Welding should proceed slowly and caution should be observed so
the welding does not overheat the packing and sealing elements.
Sequence the welding so that the heat is not concentrated in one area.
5.8.10.5 Fillet-weld the sleeve ends to pipe.
5.8.10.6 Seal-weld the sleeve side openings.
5.8.10.7 Re-torque the studs and nuts.
5.8.10.8 Seal-weld around the bottoms of the nuts to the side bars.
5.8.10.9 Seal-weld the nuts to the studs (see the manufacturer's material list for
ASTM metal composition of studs and bolts).
build-up of gasses.
5.8.10.10 Inspect the welded sleeve per MIP-407.
Page 403-12
5.9 Full Encirclement Sleeve (Full Wrap)

5.9.1 A full encirclement sleeve (full wrap) is a metal wrap installed around pipe for
reinforcement and containing pressure. The full sleeve is produced by welding
together two half sleeves around pipe. Sleeves are only permitted to be installed
on pipe having a wall thickness between .188 and .750 inches.
There are two types of full wrap encirclement sleeves:
• Type A is longitudinally welded along its connecting edges but not welded to
the pipe at the ends.
• Type B is welded on the ends to the carrier pipe in addition to the longitudinal
weld. Type B is the recommended installation because it is pressure
containing.
Note: Consult the Asset Integrity Team (Pipeline Integrity Technologist)
or Technical Services before using Type A sleeves.
Sleeve material is listed in the Pipe Welding procedure (MIP-407) by pipe
material/sleeve material classification. See Section 5.9.10 and 5.9.11 for girth weld
and long repair lengths. For assistance, contact the Asset Integrity Team (Pipeline
Integrity Technologist).
5.9.2 The sleeve material wall thickness must be calculated to accommodate the full
design pressure of the mainline pipe on which it is installed. Use the following
formula:
Tp S p D p
Ts =
D p S s - 2 S p Tp
Where:
Ts= Minimum sleeve thickness in inches (at full design pressure)
Tp= Minimum pipe thickness in inches (at full design pressure)
Ss= SMYS for the sleeve material in psi
Sp= SMYS for the pipe material in psi
Dp= Outside diameter of the pipe in inches
The sleeve thickness must be greater than or equal to the pipe wall thickness.
Sleeve material of higher SMYS than the pipeline shall have a wall thickness
equal to or greater than the original pipeline design thickness. No credit shall be
taken for the increased SMYS of the sleeve. If the sleeve thickness is greater than
Page 403-13
Pipe Repair
the pipe thickness, the ends of the sleeve must be chamfered at a 45 degree angle
to a thickness equal to the pipe.
5.9.3 Inspect the wall thickness.
The integrity of the pipe at the fillet weld location must be verified. This may be
done using an ultrasonic thickness gage and by visual inspection.
The minimum pipe wall thickness at the location where the sleeve will be welded
to the pipe is .188 inches.
5.9.4 Prepare the pipe as described in section 5.6 of this procedure.
5.9.5 Prepare the sleeve and fit it to the pipe.
5.9.5.1 Wire brush the internal surface of the sleeve to remove dirt, rust, scale,
and other foreign materials.
Warning: Grinding must not be used to clean the pipe or sleeve.
5.9.5.2 A factory manufactured half sleeve is usually ten feet long and may be cut
to the required length in the field. The minimum length for a sleeve is
four inches per DOT. However, Chevron Pipe Line recommends no
sleeve shall be less than 12” long. Bevel the sides for butt welding and
plane cut the ends for fillet welding. If any adjustments are made to the
half sleeve, the sides must be re-beveled and the ends planed.
5.9.5.3 A backing strip is recommended at the longitudinal butt weld to protect
the pipe from weld damage. The strip must be a minimum of 16 gauge
(.0625 inch thick) mild carbon steel cut to the length of the half sleeve.
Tack weld the strips to the bottom half of each side, with welds
approximately a half inch long and spaced twenty-four inches apart.
Follow the sleeve manufacturer's instructions, if available.
5.9.5.4 When sleeves are used to repair dents, fill the dent with a hardening filler
material such as epoxy or automobile body putty before installing the
sleeve.
5.9.5.5 Place the bottom sleeve, with the backing strips attached, under the pipe
with the edges of the strip barely touching the sides of the pipe. Position
the top sleeve over the pipe using wedges on the ends of the top sleeve's
longitudinal seam to provide clearance for the backing strip to fit
underneath the top half.
5.9.5.6 Plate clamps can be used for positioning the top sleeve and can be
removed when the proper position is obtained. Spreader bar rigging may
be used when handling long half sole sleeve sections.
Page 403-14
5.9.5.7 Once the half sole sleeves are in close proximity to the pipe, position the
chain clamps around the half sole. Chain clamps should be fabricated of a
diamond, double roller type chain. The tightening mechanism must be
supported by a metal shoe contoured to the shape of the half sole/pipe.
5.9.5.8 Tighten the clamps at an equal rate on each clamp until the top half sole
has cleared the backing strips. At this point, the wedges can be removed.
Continue tightening the clamps until the half sole is firmly in position.
Note: Before tightening the half sole for the final time and welding the
longitudinal seams, the pipeline pressure must be reduced to
ensure the gap between the pipe and sleeve is at a minimum and
the sleeves are load bearing.
5.9.5.9 Remove any hydrocarbon film on the sleeve and pipe at the fillet weld
location with a suitable solvent. This is an important step and integral to
ensuring a low-hydrogen weld!
5.9.6 Reduce the pressure by one third of the normal operating pressure to allow the
sleeve to share hoop stress. In cases where the product or operation does not
allow the pressure to be dropped by one third, consult the Asset Integrity Team
(Pipeline Integrity Technologist) or Technical Services before continuing.
build-up of gasses.
5.9.7 After the pressure is reduced, complete final tightening of the sleeves.
The gap of the longitudinal weld groove is critical. The gap must be 1/16 inch on
each side. Reposition the sleeve or grind the edges to achieve the proper gap.
5.9.8 Weld the sleeve per the Pipe Welding procedure (MIP-407).
The sleeve installation welding procedure is a low hydrogen API-1107 process.
Use absolutely dry low hydrogen electrodes and carefully control the size and
shape of the circumferential fillet weld. The leg of the fillet weld should equal
1.4 times the wall thickness of the pipe. Strive for a concave faced fillet weld,
with streamlined blending into both members; avoid notches and undercuts. The
smoother and more streamlined the weld, the greater the resistance to fatigue.
The longitudinal welds must be completed before welding circumferentially type
"B" full encirclement sleeves.
Note: The worst possible shape would be a heavy reinforced convex weld
with an undercut.
build-up of gasses.
5.9.9 Inspect the welded sleeve per MIP-407.
Page 403-15
Pipe Repair
5.9.10 If the area to be sleeved contains a girth weld that may provide difficulty with
fitting a plain sleeve, an expanded sleeve (sometimes called a pumpkin) can be
installed providing the material meets the requirements listed in MIP-407.
5.9.11 If the area to be sleeved is longer than the sleeve material and additional pieces
must be used, use one of the following methods:
• Butt weld the sleeves together at each end and radiographically inspect the
butt welds prior to installing the sleeve halves on the pipeline.
• Leave a minimum of ½ pipe diameters (or 4” minimum) between the two
sleeves.
• Butt the sleeves together and install another sleeve over those using the proper
sleeve weld procedure listed in MIP-407. The overlapping sleeve must be at
least 12” long and centered over the primary sleeve ends. The overlapping
sleeve must be oversized (larger inside diameter) and be able to cover the
entire circumference of the primary sleeve. The overlapping sleeve material
and thickness must be calculated using the larger outside diameter of the
primary sleeves.
5.10 Composite Sleeve Repair

5.10.1 A composite sleeve repair is a full-encirclement fiberglass composite wrap
installed around the pipe using multiple layers. One of the most well-known
composite sleeve repairs is called “Clockspring”. The sleeve is
manufactured from high tensile strength corrosion resistant fiberglass with a
filler material. This type of repair is produced by wrapping the product
around the pipe and attaching it to the pipe and itself with an adhesive. At
this time, “Clockspring” is the only composite repair sleeve approved for
use by CPL.
5.10.2 Composite sleeves are permitted:
• For repairing external metal loss defects (except for locations with metal
loss of 80% of pipe wall thickness or greater)
• For repairing external metal loss in bends with a radius of 3D or greater
(custom repair)
• For repairing external metal loss at girth welds (except for locations with
metal loss of 50% of pipe wall thickness or greater or a width of 30% of
circumference or greater)
• For repairing plain dents (unless cracks are evident). Visual inspection
and either magnetic particle or dye penetrant testing should be used to
look for cracking. Dents with cracking or stress concentrators, such as
Page 403-16
gouging, grooving or metal loss, cannot be repaired with a composite

sleeve.
• For repairing 4” through 56” diameter pipe (with a minimum wall
thickness of .068”)
Composite sleeves are not permitted:
• For repairing leaking pipe
• For repairing internal corrosion
• For leak prevention from through-wall internal pitting
• For repairing dents in bends and dents with cracking or stress
concentrators, such as gouging, grooving or metal loss
• For repairing linear crack-like defects such as stress corrosion cracking
• For repairing defects with sharp edges
• For repairing gouges
• Where there is a concern of the pipe pulling apart
• For repairing girth welds with crack-like defects
• For repairing girth welds that fail code-required weld quality
requirements
• For repairing piping with a continuous operating temperature greater
than 140F or spiking temperature greater than 180F (unless
manufacturer has a product with a higher temperature adhesive and
resin).
Composite sleeves should be:
• Installed per manufacturer’s guidelines
• Installed by qualified personnel trained and certified by the specific
composite sleeve’s manufacturer or a trainer certified by the
manufacturer. The installation of composite sleeves is a covered task
under the Operator Qualification Rule (Task 40.3). Company personnel
may train and qualify additional installers if they have been specifically
trained and certified as a trainer by the composite repair kit
manufacturer. Installers must re-certify annually by written test per the
sleeve manufacturer’s guidelines. Installers who have not installed a
composite sleeve within a 15 month period must be recertified by a
qualified instructor by written test and by performing a sample
installation.
Page 403-17
Pipe Repair
Note: See Appendix C or consult the Asset Integrity Team (Pipeline

Integrity Technologist) or Technical Services for more clarification
on the use of these sleeves.
5.10.3 The sleeve design is established by the repair sleeve manufacturer. The
proper number of wrap layers is also determined by the sleeve manufacturer.
The length of sleeve varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, but Chevron
Pipe Line recommends no repair sleeve shall be less than 11 1/2” long
(length refers to length along the pipeline) except for bend repair and on
each side of a girth weld repair.
Note: Only material supplied with a composite sleeve repair kit may be
used. No substitutes are allowed. This includes dent filler also.
Do not use auto body filler or Bondo.
5.10.4 Inspect the wall thickness. The integrity of the pipe at each end of the sleeve
must be verified. This may be done using an ultrasonic thickness gage and
by visual inspection.
The minimum pipe wall thickness at each end of the sleeve is .068 inches.
Extend or move the sleeve to ensure that this minimum is maintained.
5.10.5 Prepare the pipe as described in Section 5.6 of this procedure. The pipe must
be cleaned of all coating, oil, corrosion products, dirt or foreign material by
sandblasting, wire brush, or scrapers. Coatings containing zinc or coal tar
must be completely removed from the surface as they inhibit the curing and
bonding properties of the composite’s adhesive. The pipe must be bare,
clean and dry and should meet the standard of a NACE 3 finish. An Anchor
Pattern is required. Any sharp defects must be re-shaped to “blunt”
condition.
Filler material should be applied to the metal loss area to restore the original
pipe contour. This includes any longitudinal weld bead above the contour
of the pipe and leading edge of the starter pad.
A slight excess of filler may be applied to the metal loss area to be repaired
prior to installation of the repair sleeve.
When sleeves are used to repair dents, fill the dent with a hardening filler
material provided by the composite sleeve manufacturer before installing
the sleeve. A temporary sleeve will also be installed to ensure that the
contour of the dent and pipe are the same.
5.10.6 Prepare to install the sleeve and fit it to the pipe.
Reduce the pressure by one third of the normal operating pressure to allow
the sleeve to share hoop stress. In cases where the product or operation does
not allow the pressure to be dropped by one third, consult Technical

Services before continuing. The pressure should stay reduced until the
sleeve installation is complete and allowed to cure.
5.10.7 The repair sleeve, and all its components, shall be installed in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by qualified installers.
The repair sleeve must extend a minimum of 2” beyond the defect. Sleeves
can be butted up for long defects. Composite repair sleeves shall not be
installed directly over the butt weld joint fusion line.
Composite material repair sleeves shall only be installed at ambient
temperatures between 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 120 degrees Fahrenheit
(for temperatures lower than 32 degrees Fahrenheit, consult
manufacturer). The pipe shall be dry and protected with tarps or shelters in
conditions of rain, high humidity, blowing sand and dust, etc.
This method of permanent repair shall be limited to the calculated length
indicated by the manufacturer’s software analysis, measured along the
pipeline.
When the defect is located adjacent to a girth weld, it will be necessary to
install a four-wrap sleeve on each side of the girth weld, apply filler
material in the area between the wraps, allow molded material (use of single
wrap composite) to cure, then install a full-size eight-wrap sleeve over the
defect.
5.10.8 Because most of the composite sleeves do not contain carbon steel, they are
not detectable by an MFL (magnetic flux leakage) smart pig inspection tool.
For the future location of the repair sleeve, a thin metal band should be
installed on the pipe near each end of the sleeve.
5.10.9 All metal loss defects shall be carefully measured and documented to ensure
they meet the criteria for suitability to repair.
5.10.10 The shelf-life of the adhesive and the filler material should be checked to
make sure it is less than 1 year old. If the shelf-life exceeds 1 year, properly
dispose of the material within the guidelines set forth in HES-707 through
HES-710.
5.10.11 Visually inspect the sleeve upon completion of the installation. There shall
be no gaps or voids between the pipe and the sleeve or between the sleeve
layers. It may be necessary to fill these gaps with adhesive or remove the
existing sleeve if the gaps or voids cannot be removed.
5.10.12 Upon completion of the curing (at least 2 hours or with a Shore Hardness
test of 40) of the sleeve adhesive, the entire repair area shall be sealed. The
sleeve and adjoining bare pipe shall be sealed by using an approved pipe
coating. (See MIP-503 for coating information.) The sleeve ends may
Page 403-19
Pipe Repair
require a filler tape or coating strips applied to effect a smooth transition in
preparation for applying the pipe coating. Any extra adhesive or filler
except those in unopened containers should be disposed of within the
guidelines set forth in HES-707 through HES-710.
5.10.13 See Appendix D for sample applications for girth weld repair, dent repair,
bend repair and marking repair locations.
5.11 Document the Repair

5.11.1 Document the repair on a CPL-3 and forward a copy to the Data
Management Specialist.
5.12 Backfilling
5.12.1 When a ditch for a pipeline is backfilled, it must be backfilled in a manner
that a) provides firm support under the pipe and b) prevents damage to the
pipe and pipe coating from equipment or from the backfill material.
5.12.2 Reinstall or repair any broken or damaged cathodic protection test stations
affected during excavation before backfilling.
5.12.3 Check backfill for rocks and determine whether rock shield needs to be
installed around the pipe.
If rock shield is used, install the rock shield per the manufacturer's
specifications. If rock shield is not used, shade or cover the pipeline three
inches deep with rock-free dirt ensuring that the dirt is firmly compacted
around the sides and top of the pipeline.
5.12.4 Backfill to cover the pipeline with six inches or more of select dirt (select
dirt may contain some small rocks).
5.12.5 Continue to backfill until there is a six to twelve inch tall crown over the
pipeline ditch to allow for any settling of the soil/dirt.
5.13 Right-of-Way Clean Up, Restoration and Pipeline Marking

5.13.1 Pick up and remove all trash and debris from the work area and right-of-
way.
5.13.2 Measure the right-of-way damage area and document for submission for
payment.
5.13.3 Return the right-of-way to as close to its original condition as possible or as
specified.
Page 403-20
5.13.4 Construct water breaks or specified erosion control as required. (Refer to

MIP-203, Right-of-Way Erosion Prevention and Repair.)
5.13.5 Re-vegetate the right-of-way, as required, per the tenant approval of the re-
vegetation plan. (Refer to MIP-202, Right-of-Way Vegetation
Maintenance.)
5.13.6 Grade and/or repair private roads to restore them to as close to their original
pre-construction condition as possible.
5.13.7 Rebuild or repair fences, gaps and gates to return them to their original
condition.
5.13.8 Ensure that the pipeline(s) is properly marked and identified in the right-of-

APPENDIX D – FIBERGLASS COMPOSITE REPAIR

DETAILS
1.0 CLOCK SPRING DETAILS

1.1 Girth Weld Repair
These guidelines are included to provide some awareness on the application of the Clock
Spring wrap. For the latest and most accurate instructions see the Clock Spring application
procedures.
1.1.1 Clock Spring® composite repair system can be used to reinforce corrosion or
other blunt defects that affect the girth weld zone.
1.1.2 Clock Spring® provides hoop reinforcement for pipe damaged by corrosion or
other blunt defects by wrapping tightly around the pipe and sharing the hoop load.
The cap of a girth weld restricts the Clock Spring® contact with the pipe. Defects
in the weld zone can be repaired by bridging the weld cap with an additional
Clock Spring® unit. Clock Springs are installed on either side of the weld; the
space between the units is filled with high compressive strength filler and a third
unit installed over the filled gap.
1.1.3 The following technique will provide structural reinforcement for external
corrosion, or other blunt defects associated with the girth weld zone. The three
steps to the process are:
• Application of Clock Spring® on both sides of the weld.
• Molding the area between the Clock Spring® units (over the weld bead) with
filler material using a single wrap mold.
• Application of the bridging unit.
1.1.4 Only certified installers may apply Clock Spring®.
1.1.5 The pipeline operator must inspect the weld zone to ensure that it is free of
cracks.
1.1.6 Defect shall not exceed the following
• 50% pipe wall loss
• 30% of the pipe circumference
1.1.7 The following additional material is required. Filler kits, single-wrap mold,
parting film, tie-down straps, 100-grit sandpaper.
1.1.8 Installation
Page 403-D1
• Install a Clock Spring® unit on each side of the girth weld. (See Figure 1)
(Optional: Six-inch (150 mm) wide Clock Spring® may be used.)
• Remove all extruded adhesive material from the area of the girth weld.
• Allow adhesive to cure and remove the securing filament tape nearest the
girth weld.
• Apply filler material to the area between the Clock Spring® units (over the
weld bead). Install the parting film and the single-wrap Clock Spring mold.
Tighten the mold using the tie-down straps. (See Figure 2)
• Remove all extruded filler material.
• Allow the filler to harden (approximately 1-1/2 hours). Cure time will be
affected by temperature.
• Remove mold, lightly abrade filler and the exterior of the installed Clock
Springs, and wipe abraded area.
• Apply filler material as required to all voids, center and install the “Bridging”
Clock Spring® unit over the girth weld in accordance with standard Clock
Spring® repair procedures. (See Figure 3)
1.2 Bend Repair
1.2.1 Clock Spring® provides hoop reinforcement for pipe damaged by corrosion or
other blunt defects by wrapping tightly around the pipe and sharing the hoop load.
Defects in bends require special consideration to ensure that the following design
requirements are met (Figure 1a, b, c).
1.2.2 Only certified installers may apply Clock Spring®.

1.2.3 Install Clock Spring® units in accordance with standard Clock Spring® repair
procedures.
1.2.4 Installation
• The repair area shall have the installed Clock Spring® units extend a
minimum of 2 inches (51 mm) beyond both ends of the defect.
• The gap between the Clock Spring® and the intrados of the bend shall not
exceed 0.187 inches (4.8 mm).
Page 403-D2
• The gap between adjacent Clock Spring® units on the extrados of the bend
shall not exceed 0.5 inches (12.7 mm).
• The width of each Clock Spring® unit shall not be less than 2.5 inches (63.5
mm).
• Start the installation of Clock Spring® units from the middle of the defect
moving outwards
• In addition to applying filler material to all cavities and tented areas, ensure
that filler is applied to both the intrados and extrados area of the pipe
contacting the Clock Spring® unit.
Figures 1a, b, c Bend Repairs
The design of the bend repair requires specific information about the bend. In addition to
pipe grade, diameter, wall thickness, class location, defect length, defect width and defect
depth; provide:
(S1 and S2)
Or
(C and H)

Page 403-D3
1.3 Dent Repair

1.3.1 The following procedure provides the generic approach to reinforcing dented pipe
sections. Reinforcing dented pipe reduces cyclical loading that can lead to time
dependent failure.
1.3.2 The repair is limited to smooth dents caused by inadvertent pipe contact with
machinery or objects in the ditch or backfill. Stress concentrators in the dent must
be removed in accordance with applicable codes and the dent area inspected for
surface cracking.

Figure 5
Page 403-D5
1.4 Marking ClockSpring Repair Locations

1.4.1 Clock Spring® repair material is not magnetic and cannot be detected with an
MFL smart pig inspection. This procedure is to be used when installing Clock
Spring® to be able to detect the repair location. Having the Clock Spring®
identified in the tool data provides definitive information about previous repairs
and serves to identify locations that may be used to verify tool performance.
1.4.2 Detailed measurements of the defect should be acquired before installation of the
Clock Spring®. This information should then be filed for future reference. On
subsequent inspections, this information can confirm the performance of the
inspection tool or be used to help calibrate the inspection tool for better data
analysis.
1.4.3 The procedure outlined is only effective for Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL)
inspection tools.
• Measure the external defect and record results for future reference.
• Install the Clock Spring® using standard installation procedures.
• Wrap five (5) layers of steel banding material on top of the Clock Spring® at
each end. (See Figure 1.) The banding material is standard 1.25” x .031” steel
strap used for material shipping. (Groves Industrial Supply #14031)
• Coat and back-fill.
