Combatting CUI and Damage With The Tuff-N-Nuff™ Rockshield
Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is one of the largest challenges faced by oil and gas operators when it comes to protecting and maintaining their pipelines. Every year, undetected rust leads to sudden leaks that can cause extensive damage, costly repairs, and heavy delays to project operations. CUI is particularly worrisome because it can be difficult to spot via visual inspection alone.
One the best ways to protect your pipelines against corrosion, as well as other forms of damage, is to implement protective measures from the very start of your project. Backfill protection products like Proline’s Tuff-N-Nuff™ Rockshield are designed to act a layer of cushioning against the elements, as well as direct impact during backfilling operations. Tuff-N-Nuff™ offers longterm protection for your pipes by keeping hard objects in backfill away from the pipe coating during the operation of the line, and can also protect the line from abrasion in the event lateral and longitudinal shifts. Specifics of the Tuff-N-Nuff™ Rockshield include:
- Non-woven mat consisting of small diameter (approximately 0.050?) strands of flexible PVC.
- Capable of withstanding temperatures up to 350ºF
- Easy to handle and install. No expensive equipment required.
- Lightweight design was developed for use in cold weather conditions as well as warmer climates.
- Cost effective when compared to using select fill or sand padding.
- Can be delivered and installed onsite quickly, allowing you to get to work immediately.
