Field joint pipe coating equipment
Automated blasting and coating systems for freshly welded field joints, designed for consistent surface preparation, pre-heating and coating in line with standards such as DNV-RP-F102.
Reliable preparation of girth welds
The integrity of a pipeline depends on the correct treatment of freshly welded field joints. These girth weld areas must be blast cleaned, pre-heated and coated with consistent quality before the pipeline can perform as intended.
Automated blasting for consistent surface treatment
Bauhuis designs and manufactures automated and mechanical field joint blasting systems. These systems use hydraulic-driven turbines or vacuum blast nozzles to support efficient, repeatable and controlled surface preparation of the joint area.
Coating systems for epoxy and FBE applications
After heating and blasting, Bauhuis field joint coating systems apply either liquid epoxy or FBE, fusion bonded epoxy. The coating process connects the joint area with the factory-applied parent coating, creating a continuous protective layer across the field joint.
Solutions for offshore S-lay and J-lay configurations
For offshore applications, Bauhuis supplies field joint coating solutions suitable for horizontal S-lay and vertical J-lay lay barge configurations. This supports field joint treatment in demanding offshore pipeline construction environments.
Accurate handling and positioning
Bauhuis also supplies precision pipe handling systems for accurate movement and positioning of blasting and coating frames. This helps support reliable operation and controlled processing conditions throughout the field joint preparation and coating process.
