 Pros and Cons of Different CWC
Methods

METHOD PROS CONS

Impingement  Semi-automatic  FBE>650µm
 Use for onshore and subsea pipeline  Cannot be easily mobilized
 All pipe sizes  Density limitation due to 8-12% voids (max.
 High output (35-40 joints/hr) 3400 kg/m3)
 Water curing  More dusts/dirt from production
 Anode installed before CWC
 End rings to establish cutback
Compression-  Semi-automatic  Pipe sizes up to 48” or 1219 mm
wrapping  Use for onshore and subsea pipeline  Lower output (20-25 joints/hr)
 FBE can be as low as 300µm  Cutback made by cut out saw
 Curing by plastic wrap as a membrane  Anode installed after CWC
 Cleaner production  Density limitation due to 8-12% voids (max.
 Easy plant mobilization 3400 kg/m3)
Casting  Use for short spans, bends, river crossing, etc.  Manual and lab extensive
 All pipe sizes  Slow production and not suited for large
 Can be applied in the field quantities
 Concrete be vibrated to eliminate voids

 Steel Cage vs. Wire Mesh
Reinforcement
• Reinforcing steel shall be steel cage. Steel bars shall conform to
ASTM A185 with a minimum bar diameter of 5.0mm. The
material used shall conform to the tensile property
requirements in Table 1 of ASTM A82. For welded cages, the
spacing between circumferential bars should be maximum 120
mm. Galvanised welded wire mesh shall only be used for
surface reinforcement for concrete thickness > 100 mm where
the first layer of reinforcement shall be steel welded cage. If
wire mesh is used it shall be Bekaert "Armapipe" or Company-
approved equivalent conforming to ASTM A82.
• The number of layers of reinforcement shall be determined by
the required concrete coating thickness as follows:
– Up to 100 mm 1 layer (Cage reinforcement)
– over 100 mm 2 layers (First layer shall be cage reinforcement)

28
Thick CWC Coating
It has been the BrederoShaw manufacturing standards using a fabricated
reinforcement cage made from cold drawn steel bars, >3mm dia. complying with
ISO 21809-5 and DNV OS F101 for offshore impinged concrete application since
1980s.

This method is ‘superior’, as: Cage reinforcement

•Larger wire dia. (>3mm).
•Each cage is specifically made to pipe size and
concrete thickness.
•More controlled and uniform reinforcement layout,
installation/spacing.
•Less manual operation, reduced safety risk during
coating application.
•Hassle free coating application, no ‘finishing/manual
cutting trimming work’.
Cage reinforcement has been used on all major offshore projects since 1980s and by
BSI since 2001, meeting the required concrete strength, weight and successfully
installed.
Among the most recent projects coated include Icthys URF, Inpex GEP, Wheatstone,
Gumusut, JDA Eva, Julimar, SMK.

Bredero Shaw’s recommendations for critical
technical items in Balongan project
specifications
Suggestions to Specification
Proposed Changes
Pipeline Corrosion Coating
1. To include the requirement that PQT and Production
testing shall be performed by an ISO 17025 accredited
laboratory
2. To include the requirement for minimum NACE Level 3
Coating Inspector to supervise QC testing and approval.
3. To include the requirement for a preservation plan that
includes End Seal Tape as a measure to protect pipe
ends for extended storage purposes.
Rational of Change
An ISO 17025 accredited laboratory ensures competency of
testing and calibration of site laboratories.
Applicator to provide qualified and experienced NACE Level 3
certified inspectors to supervise QC testing and ensuring
compliance to approved ITP.
End Seal Tape is an effective moisture barrier and provide
durable end protection compared to varnish/paint or other
material. For long term storage > 3 months, End Seal Tape is
proven to effectively minimise end disbondment and mitigate
rust formation/deterioration at pipe ends.
Suggestions to Specification
Proposed Changes
Pipeline Concrete Weight Coating
1. To specify that reinforcing steel shall be steel cage and
applied on coating thickness up to 100mm. Wire mesh
shall only be used for concrete thickness > 100 mm
where the first layer of reinforcement shall be steel
welded cage.
2. To include the requirement to provide track records of
applying minimum 135mm concrete thickness.
3. To include the requirement for minimum NACE Level 3
Coating Inspector to supervise QC testing and approval.
3. To include the requirement of smoothed surface finish
for impingement concrete weight coating.
Rational of Change
Cage reinforcement for concrete weight coatings is required
as a minimum. Mesh is typically used on larger concrete
thickness if more than one layer of reinforcement is used.
Proven track records to demonstrate capability to apply up to
135mm coating thickness and meeting specification
requirements.

Applicator to provide qualified and experienced NACE Level 3
certified inspectors to supervise QC testing and ensuring
compliance to approved ITP.
To reduce airborne dust during the pipelay which reduces
HSE concern and offers an environmental benefit due to
reduced dust disposal requirements offshore.
Suggestions to Specification
Proposed Changes Rational of Change
Pipeline Thermal Insulation
1. To include the requirement of submitting historical data
of Simulated Service Testing (SST) and project track
records for the thermal insulation coating system. To qualify that the applicator has proven capability in thermal
insulation coating.

2. To include the requirement of submitting historical

records of OHTC values verified through Simulated
Service Testing (SST). Preference will be given to
Contractors that have a SST vessel-in-house to conduct
the test if necessary.
3. To include the requirement that PQT and Production
testing shall be performed by an ISO 17025 accredited
laboratory
4. To include the requirement for minimum NACE Level 3
Coating Inspector to supervise QC testing and approval.
5. To include the requirement for a preservation plan that
includes End Seal Tape as a measure to protect pipe
ends for extended storage purposes.
An ISO 17025 accredited laboratory ensures competency of
testing and calibration of site laboratories.
Applicator to provide qualified and experienced NACE Level 3

material. For long term storage > 3 months, End Seal Tape is
proven to effectively minimise end disbondment and mitigate
rust formation/deterioration at pipe ends.
Suggestions to Specification
Proposed Changes
Pipeline Field Joint Coating
1. To include the requirement of polypropylene heat-
shrink sleeves. Also to recommend factory grade HSS
field joint coatings for both 3LPE and 3LPP line pipe
coatings
2. To replace the requirement of thermochromatic
indicators and specify that the application of sleeves
shall follow manufacturer’s recommendations.
3. To amend the requirements for HSS to align with ISO
21809-1 on peel strength, hardness, indentation and
cathodic disbondment test criteria.
4. To include the requirement for minimum NACE Level 3
Coating Inspector to supervise QC testing and approval.
Rational of Change
The factory grade PE/PP based heat shrink sleeve will
provide greater compatibility to PE/PP coated pipeline
corrosion coating, including PP foam insulation coating
