Welcome to Swiftpipe
The Swiftpipe group of companies are dedicated to improving the cost, efficiency and safety of laying pipelines.
Swiftpipe supplies proven technology called Zap-Lok® that can join and lay steel pipelines (up to 16 inch or 41cms outside diameter) at onshore speeds of over 1000 feet (305 m) per hour using standard 40 feet (12.2 m) line pipe. This is up to five times faster than conventional welded pipe joining methods with substantial cost and efficiency savings. Offshore, from a lay barge, 39 pipe joints per hour have been achieved using Zap-Lok®.
Over 25,000 kilometres of pipelines joined by Zap-Lok® have been laid with over 2 million joints successfully installed.
Zap-Lok® eliminates pipe joint welding and X-ray inspection and also works on both lined and coated pipe. The technology is also safer and more environmentally friendly than conventional welding. Zap-Lok® can be used for joining line pipe being laid onshore and offshore from a barge or similar vessel. For onshore use this includes joining for "open trenching" and "pull through" pipe lay techniques. For offshore use beach pull techniques are fully compatible.
