Testing and Simulation Services

Cladtek offers a range of testing and simulation services as an independent provider to the industry.

​We have two and four-point bend testing equipment to simulate pipeline response for various grades and sizes of pipe for various design classes such as:

  • Lateral buckling
  • Installation by reel lay (including formers to suit common carousel diameters)
  • Installation by S-lay and J-Lay
  • Fatigue loading under thermal cycling

​Our testing capability includes performing testing at various temperatures, under pressurised conditions, and with the pipeline under tension, compression, and or lateral loads.

​In addition to testing uncoated carbon steel, CRA clad or lined, and alloy steel pipe, we can also simulate conditions for pipe coated with corrosion protective coatings (internal and external) and concrete weight coating.
