Engineered, Tested, and Delivered Under a Certified Quality System

Icarus Composites operates under an ISO 9001–certified quality management system for composite repair design and delivery, ensuring consistent, controlled, and auditable outcomes. All repairs are engineered and installed in accordance with ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2, providing petrochemical asset owners with predictable, standards-compliant integrity restoration.

The Most Reliable Composite Repair Solutions for Long-Term Petrochemical Corrosion Protection & Repairs

No-Shutdown Application on Live Assets

Engineered composite repairs can be installed on in-service petrochemical piping, vessels, and structures, reducing production losses and eliminating the need for hot work or extended outages.

Long-Term Corrosion Mitigation in Aggressive Environments

High-performance composite systems form a fully bonded, impermeable barrier that arrests external corrosion and shields substrates from chemicals, moisture ingress, and cyclic exposure.

Standards-Compliant Structural Restoration

Repairs are engineered and installed in accordance with ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2, restoring load-bearing capacity and pressure integrity with predictable, auditable performance.

Lightweight, Non-Intrusive Reinforcement

Composite systems add minimal weight, avoid stress concentration, and conform to complex geometries—making them ideal for congested petrochemical facilities where access and structural margins are limited.

Engineered Composite Repairs for Corroded Petrochemical Assets

Our composite repair systems are engineered to restore structural integrity to corroded pipes, vessels, and ancillary steelwork by redistributing loads away from weakened substrates. Each repair is designed using recognised international standards, ensuring predictable mechanical performance. The result is a permanent, auditable repair that extends asset service life while avoiding costly replacement or fabrication work.

Restores load-bearing capacity and pressure integrity without removing or replacing damaged sections.
Extends the service life of ageing assets by decades when properly engineered and installed.
Eliminates the need for heavy fabrication, welding, or craneage in constrained plant areas.
Provides a fully documented, standards-based repair suitable for audits and integrity reviews.

Live Asset Corrosion Protection Without Shutdowns

Icarus Composites’ technology can be applied to live, operating petrochemical assets without interrupting production or requiring hot work. This enables corrosion protection and defect remediation to be carried out safely during normal operations. Operators benefit from reduced downtime, maintained throughput, and significantly lower total cost of repair.

Avoids production losses associated with shutdowns, isolations, and re-commissioning.
Reduces safety risk by eliminating hot work and confined space welding activities.
Enables maintenance to be scheduled around operations rather than dictated by outages.
Significantly lowers total repair cost by minimising operational disruption.

Fully Bonded Systems for Long-Term Integrity Restoration

Our systems create a fully bonded, load-sharing composite structure that seals existing corrosion damage and prevents further degradation by isolating the substrate from the external environment. Unlike mechanical clamps or temporary coatings, the bond ensures stress transfer and environmental exclusion. This delivers long-term corrosion arrest and structural reinforcement in a single application.

Arrests active corrosion by sealing the substrate from moisture, oxygen, and chemicals.
Creates a load-sharing structure that reduces stress concentration at damaged locations.
Delivers a permanent repair solution rather than a temporary containment measure.
Maintains integrity under pressure, thermal cycling, and operational vibration.

Standards-Compliant Solutions for Complex Petrochemical Geometry

Composite materials naturally conform to complex geometries such as elbows, tees, nozzles, and supports commonly found in petrochemical facilities. Repairs are engineered and installed in accordance with ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2. This allows owners to achieve compliant repairs in areas where conventional methods are impractical, reducing risk while maintaining regulatory confidence.

Conforms seamlessly to elbows, tees, reducers, nozzles, and irregular steelwork.
Enables compliant repairs in areas inaccessible to clamps or conventional steel sleeves.
Minimises added weight and avoids overstressing supports and foundations.
Ensures regulatory and engineering acceptance through ISO 24817 and ASME PCC-2 compliance.

Petrochemical Corrosion Protection Solutions for Every Asset Condition

Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI)

Arrests hidden corrosion and restores structural integrity without removing large sections of insulation or disrupting operations.

‍

External Wall Loss on Process Pipework

Reinforces weakened pipe walls and restores pressure containment while keeping the asset in continuous service.

‍

Localised Corrosion on Vessels and Columns

Provides targeted structural restoration that prevents defect growth and extends the remaining service life of critical equipment.

‍

Structural Steelwork Corrosion in Aggressive Environments

Protects load-bearing steel from further degradation while strengthening compromised members with minimal added weight.

‍

Trusted to Restore Integrity on High-Risk Petrochemical Pipework

Corroded Suction & Discharge Lines

Icarus Composites completed a series of engineered composite repairs to corroded 4”, 10”, and 12” fuel oil suction and discharge lines affected by corrosion under insulation in a coastal environment. The ASME PCC-2–compliant repairs restored pressure integrity, arrested further corrosion, and extended asset life by 20 years—without pipe replacement or operational disruption.
