COMPA is a method for repair and reinforcement of damaged structures and pipes using composite materials.
COMPA Repairs is a result of extensive experience in ship design and engineering.
The method features application of carbon and glass fibres mixed with epoxy resin/adhesive onto a damaged surface. By curing, the resin hardens and bonds to the surface permanently, impregnating also the fibres that reinstate the strength of the damaged part. It creates a solid new layer of material that provides full watertightness.
COMPA bonds strongly to metals, wood and plastics
Provides watertightness
Restores strength
Prevents corrosion
Reduces crack growth
Benefits of COMPA Repairs and Reinforcements
Cost-efficient compared to traditional repairs
Safe, no hot works involved
Done during voyage or port operations
Applicable to anything reachable by hand
Applicable to any shape
Durable patch is resistant to osmosis
High-pressures, salt, dust, mud or liquids do not pose a challenge
Low added weight
COMPA Repairs is performed by trained personnel only.
Optimal and robust performance of the repair/reinforcement is secured if the application is documented and approved by a controlling body, e.g. for ships by a classification society.
All COMPA applications are conducted in a controlled environment and our team takes care of the:
-
surface preparation
-
temperature
-
humidity
