COMPOSITE LINEPIPE

It Pays to be Flexible
Flexpipe Systems manufactures and distributes a flexible, composite
pipeline solution for the energy sector. Our corrosion resistant,
high-pressure pipeline products help drive down installation costs
while increasing productivity. With over 20,000 kilometers of
Flexpipe Systems patented Linepipe technology and 90,000 fittings
successfully installed throughout North America, Latin America
and Australia, our team of technical experts, engineers, and field
personnel will find the right solution for your next pipeline project.

Modernizing pipelines in the field

All Flexpipe Systems products use the same principle: a
thermoplastic liner, a helically wound reinforcement layer and an
external thermoplastic jacket.

Our composite linepipe solutions are used in a wide range of

applications in which a corrosion resistant pipeline is beneficial,
including:
Oil and gas gathering
Water transfer, disposal, and injection
CO2 injection
