Pipe Line Construction Contractors – Transportation Pipelines
ForceLok delivers the most advanced, mechanical pipe joining technology allowing pipeline contractors to rapidly complete projects, at significantly lower costs. Utilizing the ForceLok Mechanical Pipe Joining System combined with ForceLok’s advanced, engineered flexible epoxy, pipeline construction contractors can significantly reduce construction costs and production times utilizing ForceLok’s rapid, Force-Fit technology. Combined with ForceLok’s Computerized Monitoring System, Pipeline contractors can now document and graph the integrity of each connection, thereby demonstrating the highest level of quality control available from any mechanical joint connection. ForceLok provides equipment for sale, lease or rental and offers design, testing and consulting services to our clients worldwide.
Oil and Gas Companies – Gathering Pipelines
ForceLok developed its patented mechanical pipe joining system to help Oil and Gas Companies more rapidly and cost effectively fulfill their pipeline transportation needs. ForceLok’s mechanical, metal- to-metal pipe joining system, combined with ForceLok’s Engineered Flexible Epoxy, helps Oil & Gas companies bring production online faster than utilizing traditional welded pipeline construction technology. The ForceLok Mechanical Pipe Joining System is protected by several issued and pending patents in the US and other countries.
Production and Completion – High Pressure Flow and Gathering Pipelines
In the production and completion phase, time-to-market is critical to bringing revenues online. The ForceLok Mechanical Pipe Joining system allows operators to more rapidly complete gathering pipelines, significantly reducing man hours and costly x-ray and verification processes. Combined with the ForceLok Computerized Monitoring System, the ForceLok Mechanical Pipe Joining System delivers a fully repeatable, documentable connection each and every time, storing all force, pressure and penetration data that is logged and stored for each connection. This first of its kind system was designed to provide a higher level of integrity when making connections and to provide contractors and operators a higher level of quality control in the construction process.
ERW and Seamless Pipe Manufacturers
Forcelok provides tooling and end preparation units to pipe manufacturers worldwide, allowing pipe mills to deliver finished goods to end users or coating plants. By pre-finishing the pipe with the ForceLok Mechanical Bell and Taper Connections prior to coating, steel mills can ensure the integrity of the end preparation, reducing mill claims and associated costs.
Internal Pipe Coating Companies
ForceLok provides tooling and end preparation units to internal pipe coating companies to deliver finished goods to customers ready for field assembly. Available through purchase, lease or rental options, pipe coating companies can now provide an enhanced, value-added service to oil & gas companies and pipeline companies and contractors by manufacturing the ForceLock Mechanical end preparation bell and tapers on all coated pipe.
Enhanced Oil Recovery – Water, Steam Injection Lines and CO2 Transmission Pipelines
The challenges and demands of enhanced recovery applications require a holiday-free connection in internally coated pipe. ForceLok has developed a state-of-the-art, patented, mechanical pipe joining system that delivers a holiday-free connection that is highly resistant to corrosion. In conjunction with the ForceLok Engineered, Flexible Epoxy system and Computerized Monitoring System, each connection can be documented and verified to ensure the highest level of quality control, significantly reducing the possibility of leaks or corrosion in the connection.
Corrosion Transmission and Disposal Projects
The ForceLok Mechanical Pipe Joining System, in conjunction with the ForceLok Engineered Flexible Epoxy, works with all types of internally coated pipe and provides the highest level of protection to help resist the aggressive corrosion fluids and gases, H2S and other hazardous materials in the mechanical connection.
