SWSWUTILITIESADVANCED RTP PIPELINE SOLUTIONS
Composite pipeline engineering

RTP for the next demands of energy.

SWUtilities can deliver a full turnkey RTP scope, from pipe supply through installation and testing, for standard and specialist pipeline applications.

Since 2003Engineering experience
New RTP product focus

Hydrogen. Gas. Downhole. Smart RTP.

Four application areas shaping SWUtilities’ next phase of composite pipeline development. Final designs and ratings will depend on qualification for each service.

Hydrogen RTP

Pipeline concepts for hydrogen service, with liner, barrier, joints and permeation performance to be validated against the operating envelope.

Product development focus

02 / GAS

Gas RTP

Spoolable composite systems for suitable gas transport applications, designed around pressure, temperature, gas containment and installation conditions.

Application specific qualification

03 / DOWNHOLE

Downhole RTP

Specialist pipe development for well environments where mechanical loads, fluids and temperature call for a dedicated qualified design.

Smart RTP

Integrated pathways can deploy electrical power and communications alongside the pipe. Where required, a qualified temperature-control system can be designed into the installation.

Product design envelope

One portfolio. Qualified for each duty.

The proposed programme spans standard service, hydrocarbons, produced water, gas, hydrogen, downhole and Smart RTP applications. Ratings depend on diameter, materials, fluid and temperature.

02Installation and jointing support
03Testing and commissioning
What we do

One team for supply, installation and testing.

A full turnkey RTP scope can bring product selection, field delivery and verification together under one project plan.

01 / SUPPLY

RTP system supply

Pipe, fittings and connection systems selected for the fluid, pressure, temperature and installation conditions of each project.

02 / INSTALLATION

Pipeline installation

Reel deployment, jointing and route installation, including aboveground, buried and horizontal directional drilling works where suitable.

03 / TESTING

Testing and handover

Installation checks, pressure testing and documented handover against the approved project procedures and product requirements.

Why RTP

Practical benefits for the right application.

RTP combines a thermoplastic liner and outer jacket with a reinforcement layer. Its performance depends on the complete, qualified pipe and fitting system.

Pressure, temperature, chemical compatibility, permeation and joining requirements must be verified for each service.

Corrosion resistance

Thermoplastic materials can reduce exposure to corrosion mechanisms associated with steel pipe.

Spoolable lengths

Reel based delivery can reduce field joints on suitable routes.

Lower handling weight

Lighter pipe can simplify transport, lifting and site logistics.

Installation flexibility

Pipe systems can be designed for buried or aboveground routes, subject to support and environmental requirements.

Looking ahead

Building regional RTP capability.

SWUtilities is developing plans for an advanced RTP production facility in the GCC. Hydrogen, gas, downhole and Smart RTP are priorities for the proposed product portfolio.
