Increase your environmental and employee safety

Less injury risk and greater leak protection

Environmental and workplace safety are paramount, and the Canadian oil sands present special challenges in these areas. The Iracore lined pipe system mitigates the risk of injury to your workers by reducing their time in the right-of-way. This is possible thanks to Iracore’s superior durability, dependability and ease of installation.

Iracore is also safer for the environment than other pipeline systems, because our Iracoupling lined pipe fittings protect against leaks. In fact, there has never been an environmental event involving these patent-pending welded end flanges.

Reduce your pipeline installation time. Iracoupling lined pipe fittings allow you to perform time-saving field welds, shortening the pipeline construction period.
Perform routine maintenance less often. In the Athabasca oil sands, Iracore lined pipe requires rotation only every two years, compared with every six months for unlined steel pipe. That means fewer trips to the right-of-way for your workers.
Protect against unexpected problems. Iracore expansion barrels outperform those lined with chromium carbide overlay, so your workers don’t need to apply heat to your pipeline in mid-winter. What’s more, the surface of our specially engineered internal pipe coating reduces or eliminates sandfills.

Mitigate the risk of environmental events. Iracoupling welded end flanges feature a four-seal system that creates a leak-proof joint, which protects against environmental events.
