Composi-Patch
• Technology company that specializes in composite repairs of pipelines and storage tanks.
• We have some of the strongest and proven repair systems on the market.
• We have affiliates that allow a turnkey operation and now a long term monitoring solution with LR.
Western Specialties Overview and Products
• We began with the Composi-Sleeve system when the inventor, Mr. Carl “Whitey” Brooks, a long time pipeline welder, realized there was a safer, more reliable way to install steel sleeves.
• Western has developed new products over the years with new technology systems to keep up with customers needs.
• Being one of the newest manufactures we have had the advantage of the strongest fabrics and adhesive.
• Now we are launching our newest product “Smart Sleeve”.

Conclusion and Capabilities
• Lloyd’s Register and Western Specialties have teamed up to merge two existing technologies.
• The designs and full scale testing have been conducted by 3rd party engineering company.
• Capabilities of this new technology and repair system are only limited to what the operator wants to monitor.
• Having the ability to monitor both the condition of the pipeline as well as the repair without further visual inspections eliminates the need for additional digs.
• Being able to measure for overburden, internal and external corrosion, movement in geological active areas and even leaks can be realized before a major event occurs.
