Concrete Weight Coating (CWC) is a critical process used in the pipeline industry to provide stability and protection for underwater pipelines. This specialized coating is applied to pipelines to ensure they remain submerged and are safeguarded from harsh marine environments. Bayou offers a premier Concrete Weight Coating solution, skillfully designed to provide negative buoyancy for offshore pipelines, and applications involving river or road crossings.
Anchoring Strength with Unsurpassed Protection for Your Pipelines
Our CWC services are perfectly complemented by other coating systems such as Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) and Three-Layer Polyethylene (3LP), working in harmony to deliver unmatched protection. Utilizing a state-of-the-art compression wrap process, Bayou ensures the anticorrosion coating remains immaculately intact. This method involves the precise application of a uniform concrete layer, reinforced with wire wrapping for enhanced stability, comprising a meticulously calculated mix of cement, sand, iron ore, and wire wrap to achieve the desired thickness.
Superior Bonding for Enduring Pipeline Protection
With innovation that addresses potential slippage between the concrete layer and anti-corrosion coating, Bayou employs advanced techniques including the application of a rough-coat layer or a specialized 2-component epoxy adhesive. This ensures a secure bond and enduring protection against environmental threats.
