EU-funded COMPA Repairs glass and carbon fiber composite repair technology guarantees durable, fast and economical ship repairs
.
Tank wall repaired with glass and carbon fiber reinforcement
Tank wall repaired with glass and carbon fiber reinforcementShip design and engineering company Alveus DOO (Rijeka, Croatia) reports that its EU-funded COMPA repair marine composite repair technology has been successfully used in around 20 applications, including ballast water pipes and tanks, sewage and HFO tanks, Heat transfer oil pipes, valves, flanges, decks and bulkheads
.
One of the latest repairs to this technology was carried out on a damaged tank bulkhead in Antwerp, Belgium
.
Before the repair process, COMPA engineers and composites experts studied damage parameters and then used their eCOMPA software to develop a repair plan
.
The repair process on board starts with checking for damage, followed by surface treatments, including mechanical and chemical treatments, to ensure a good bond between the steel surface and the core of COMPA technology (glass and carbon fiber composite patches)
.
The carbon and glass fibers are cut to precise dimensions, and the resin and catalyst are mixed
.
Repairs to the record-breaking tank bulkhead were completed in record time without any setbacks, according to Alveus
.
The in-service ship demonstration is part of the project "COMPA 2GO - Integrated Ship Repair: Service Demonstration, Certification and Market Entry"
.
COMPA Repair was chosen because of the potential benefits it could bring to the maritime sector as a fast, cost-effective and durable repair technology
.
COMPA composite repairs eliminate the need for flames in ship repairs and provide repair options for geometrically complex structures and hard-to-reach locations
