Emergency Underwater Repair of Ruptured PPMC Pipeline

Emergency Underwater Repair of Ruptured PPMC Pipeline

NTSL successfully executed the emergency underwater repair of a critically ruptured point along the Petroleum Products Marketing Company pipeline, delivering a technically demanding subsea pipeline intervention scope in full compliance with PPMC engineering specifications and international underwater pipeline repair and integrity standards.

NTSL mobilized a specialist underwater pipeline repair crew comprising certified saturation divers, surface supply diving supervisors, and experienced pipeline repair engineers equipped with subsea welding systems, hyperbaric welding habitats, and precision pipe cutting and sleeve installation tools to execute this emergency repair safely and efficiently. Every phase of the underwater pipeline repair was carried out in strict accordance with PPMC approved repair procedures, subsea weld inspection requirements, and HSE protocols — ensuring zero diving incidents, full restoration of pipeline pressure integrity, and safe return of the PPMC pipeline to normal petroleum products transportation service upon completion and formal handover.

Features of Project
