IK-Group has developed a solution to stop the leakage on the 6”- 45deg elbow on Bonga WT-04 template.
The 6” Bend Split Clamp was designed to be installed by ROV while the pipeline was depressurised (Isolation Valve closed) during the installation.
Due to insufficient space for installation, a diamond wire cutter tool was designed and built for purpose.
Upon successful modification and installation, a retrofit beam was installed to reinforce the structure and restore its original function.
