Safe, Bolt-On Fix for Leaking Pipelines
Does your line have a leak? PLIDCO Split+Sleeves are repair fittings that can be used to seal leaks caused by corrosion or damage on onshore and subsea. These are easy and safe to install, bolt-on fittings that stop the leak once the fitting is properly torqued.
For a permanent repair, the fitting can be welded to the pipeline while it is under flow. Fittings not welded to the line can be removed, reconditioned and returned to the customer’s safety stock.
Fittings are tested to 1.5x the design pressure. Steel GirderRings prevent displacement and damage of packing during installation. Stock fitting working pressure starts at 1000maop, higher working pressures and various lengths are available. Custom emergency repair fittings are an option when a stock fitting is not applicable.
Wondering why customers trust us? We are the only manufacturer in the industry to offer a 10-year limited warranty, which can be extended throughout the full design life of the product – a total of 25 years, on our pipeline repair and maintenance fittings.

RESTORING OFFSHORE OPERATIONS WITH ROV-INSTALLED PIPELINE REPAIR IN ANGOLA
A significant subsea leak was discovered on a 10” water injection line serving an offshore oil platform off the coast of Angola. The leak originated from a compromised 900# flange assembly on a branch line, located at a depth of 80 meters (262 feet) beneath the ocean surface. The pipeline was shut down, halting injection operations and impacting oil production.
Stapem Offshore’s subsea intervention partner Film-Ocean, a Stapem Group company specializing in ROV services, was tasked with coordinating the technical aspects of the subsea repair and engaged PLIDCO® to provide the engineered solution.
PLIDCO Offshore
Pipeline repair and maintenance products for faster, safer, easier offshore repairs.
PLIDCO pioneered wet technology using mechanical fittings for the repair and maintenance of subsea pipelines worldwide. PLIDCO fittings are designed for fast, simple installation and take less time than conventional weld-on types of fittings. They are used to seal pipeline leaks, reinforce thin or weakened pipe walls and make subsea tie-ins to existing pipelines at depths suitable for diving. Repairs can be made safely without shut down or with minimum downtime, which avoids costly production losses. Fittings can be welded if specified.
