COMPA is a method for repair and reinforcement of damaged structures and pipes using composite materials.

COMPA is a method for repair and reinforcement of damaged structures and pipes using composite materials.

COMPA Repairs is a result of extensive experience in ship design and engineering.

The method features application of carbon and glass fibres mixed with epoxy resin/adhesive onto a damaged surface. By curing, the resin hardens and bonds to the surface permanently, impregnating also the fibres that reinstate the strength of the damaged part. It creates a solid new layer of material that provides full watertightness.

WHY COMPA?

• Bonds strongly to metals, wood and plastic.
• Provides watertightness
• Restores strength
• Prevents corrosion
• Reduces crack growth

BENEFITS OF COMPA REPAIRS AND REINFORCEMENTS

Cost-efficient compared to traditional repairs, Safe, no hot works involved, Done during voyage or port operations, Applicable to anything reachable by hand, Applicable to any shape, Durable patch is resistant to osmosis, High-pressures, salt, dust, mud or liquids do not pose a challenge & Low added weight.

COMPA Repairs can be performed by trained personnel only. Optimal and robust performance of the repair/reinforcement can be secured if the application is documented and approved by a controlling body, e.g. for ships by a classification society.
