Case stories

Steel producer ArcelorMittal Gent discovered a crack in one of their high-pressure pipes of the blast furnaces. An AVK stainless steel repair clamp was mounted at a height of 60 meters and solved the problem.

Repico® couplings protect the weak welds of a supply pipeline of an industrial plant, a reliable temporay solution. In good cooperation with the customer, we developed a tailor-made repair coupling for the pipe elbows. 

At the wastewater treatment plant in Deventer, contractor Pannekoek recently installed several Repico® couplings to their full satisfaction. 

In Romania a connection to a new raw water line has been equipped with a flanged outlet repair clamp  (FST) produced by AVK Rewag. A solution that is now recommended for similar projects.  

A Brazilian company in the agribusiness faced a leakage in a carbon steel pipe due to oxidation of the pipe material. AVK Válvulas do Brasil suggested a Repico® stainless steel repair coupling for a reliable and sustainable solution.

On a tug they had an urgent demand for couplings with a Bureau Veritas approval for the steel suction pipelines. AVK produced the Repico® DN350 Grip couplings within 2 days. 

17 Repico® SD Slip type couplings with two locks are installed in a flowmeter test facility in a watertreatmentplant in Madrid. 

At Zoo am Meer in Germany, leaks occurred in the piping of the water treatment plant. Repico® repair couplings ensured a durable but easy repair. 

The ferry company replaces all couplings by the Repico® Slip couplings. The Repico® Slip coupling is completely made of high quality stainless steel AISI316 material including a FKM liner.

A large Oil & Gas production company faced an operational problem. They identified a weak spot in a steel pipe. They had to stop their production process on one of their FPSO’s (Floating Production Storage and Offloading). AVK could support in providing a solution for covering the “weak” spot with a high quality Repico® repair clamp!

Recently we received a nice order for 57 big Repico® repair couplings, varying in sizes DN1200, DN900 and DN600. These Repico® couplings will be supplied via our distributor AC.MO from Dubai to a big water company in the Middle East.

With our wide range of couplings, adaptors and repair clamps we can help water utilities all around the world to save precious water and time, like we did here in Kayseri, Turkey. 

Because of AVK’s fast service the plant could continue with minimal disruption.
