Our View - A Closer Look At Shawcor

• Composite Mechanical Protection for directionally drilled pipelines
• Announcement: Canusa-CPS newly released Scar-Guard Mechanical Protection
• Superior mechanical protection to field joint coatings on directionally drilled pipelines

The patented Scar‑Guard® line of products is designed to protect field joint and mainline coatings from the mechanical stresses and scarring associated with horizontal directional drilling (HDD), boring and micro-tunneling of pipelines.

Effective March 13, 2017, Houston, TX, USA: NRI and Shawcor are excited to announce their strategic global partnership and exclusive distribution agreement relating to Scar-Guard® and Scar-Guard® XL composite products specific to in-trench pipeline coating protection for directional drilling applications.  Both parties look forward to driving down user risks associated with horizontal directional drilling (HDD), thrust boring and micro-tunneling through superior mechanical protection.

Canusa-CPS Scar-Guard line of products minimizes the need for costly repairs after pull back, and provides long-term protection of the underlying pipeline coating

Scar-Guard is a composite abrasion resistant overcoat comprised of fiberglass cloth and pre-impregnated flexible resin that is activated by water and cured within minutes. This sacrificial outer laminate system protects pre-approved anticorrosion field joint coatings and mainline coatings such as FBE, liquid epoxies, shrink sleeves, and tapes. 

Canusa-CPS Scar-Guard features and benefits:

• Unparalleled protection against impact, abrasion, gouge, punctures and tears
• Moisture cured, composite system used to protect the anti-corrosion system
• Prevents abrasion over the weld bead
• Fast curing, field-friendly installation
• Works with cathodic protection systems
• Simply wrapped onto the existing coatings surface and activated by water
• Pre-impregnated moisture cured polyurethane resin means - no field mixing or saturation required!
