Summary
Documents

MASiP Phase 2 is a technical development project with identified go/no-go milestone as key factors as to whether further qualification testing should be completed.  This necessity is due to the requirement to have a repair technique prior to any deployment for onshore pipelines. The project intends to deliver detailed methods statements created for the qualification testing plan require for product qualification. The most stringent testing parameters were defined from IGEM, ASME, API 15S in phase 1 to ensure that industry wide acceptance of this new approach would be received.

Benefits

The program would provide an alternative to conventional high-pressure pipeline technology, and would be able to be replicated across the GB network. Other benefits include

·         Reduced material for laying of transmission pipeline

·         Improved asset integrity monitoring of the pipeline

·         Reduced resource requirements for laying of pipeline

·         Reduced site footprint for laying of transmission pipeline. 


The cost and safety ameliorations of this system would benefit gas consumers and would contribute to the technology needed for localised energy distribution.
