Abstract: Systems and methods for onsite manufacture of a composite pipeline. In one embodiment, a method for constructing a pipeline includes arranging a plurality of sections of tubing at or near to a location where the pipeline is to be finally installed. An end of a first of the sections of tubing axially abuts an end of a second of the sections of tubing. The abutting ends of the first and second of the sections of tubing are joined. A continuous strip of material is wrapped in a helical pattern over the length of the joined first and second of the sections of tubing to form a pipeline segment.

Abstract: A system and method for fabricating reinforced tubular. In some embodiments, the fabrication system includes a plurality of iso-containers positioned at a site where a reinforced tubular is to be installed and equipment disposed within each of the plurality of iso-containers, the equipment operable to produce the reinforced tubular. The equipment includes a caterpullar operable to receive a tubular and push the tubular through the equipment downstream of the caterpullar and a winder operable to wrap the tubular with a reinforcing material to produce the reinforced tubular.

Abstract: Methods for repairing a defect in a pipeline. In some embodiments, the method includes filling the defect with a paste such that an outer surface of the defect is substantially flush with an adjacent outer surface of the pipeline, curing the paste, manually wrapping a reinforcing material around the pipeline over the defect region for a plurality of turns, coupling the reinforcing material to the pipeline, wherein a pressure load applied to an inner surface of the pipeline is transferred through the pipeline and the paste to the reinforcing material so as to increase a safe operating pressure of the pipeline, and electrically coupling the reinforcing material and the pipeline, whereby an electrical potential in the pipeline is transmitted to the reinforcing material.
