Energy

As societies are looking more and more to greener energy sources, including wind farms and solar parks, the importance of having the correct infrastructure in place for the construction and maintenance of these assets, is paramount.

Minova has a range of ground engineering solutions to support, from soil nails and rock bolts for slope stabilization to micropile foundations for wind turbines, transmission towers and solar parks, together with pipeline support and grout stemming solutions for seismic surveying projects.

We are continuously reviewing and innovating our portfolio to ensure that we can offer the best solutions for these expanding and dynamic projects. Minova are currently undertaking research & development with industry partners, to improve the performance and environmental credentials of geothermal wells.

 

Chemical injection

Our extensive range of injectable products and systems are used for water control in the energy sector.

Product title
CarboPur

CarboPur resins production line offers high-quality materials for temporary or permanent applications with different reaction data and resin behavior, applicable in infrastructure and civil engineering.

These resins are applicable over a wide range of temperatures and act effectively even against pressurised water.

CarboPur WX is used for stabilisation in wet or water bearing rock formations. It is used for sealing water tributaries from rock formations, dams, or shaft walls. It can be used in renovation of wet shafts, tunnels, sewers, or brickwork.

CarboPur WS is used for curtain injection in tunnels, dams, or on shaft walls; sealing against water, stabilisation, consolidation and repairing of cracks &/or fissures.

CarboPur WFA is used for sealing strong water ingress, e.g.construction pits, pipelines, shafts, and tunnels.

CarboStop

These products are used for:

Grouting of fine to very fine hair line cracks and water-carrying sands or porous materials. Used for deep injecting, fixing of anchors, stabilisation and sealing of loose rock, stoppage of water inflow (also salt water), injecting of man-accessible sewer lines and tubes.

Stopping water inflow (also salt water), stabilisation and water sealing of loose rock, grouting of fine to medium-fine grained sands and gravel, fixing of anchors, injection of cracks, honeycombs, injections of man-accessible sewer lines and tubes

Stopping of water inflow (also salt water), sealing of loose rock, sealing of cracks and expansion joints in bridges and concrete structures. For use in deep injection, grouting of medium-fine to larger cracks, fissures, honeycombs, injections of man-accessible sewer lines and tubes where high elasticity and flexibility is required.

Sprayed coatings & membranes

Our sprayed coatings and membranes provide additional lining and protection for ground control and support enhancement projects in the oil & gas and renewable energy sectors.

RD 10

RD10 is environmentally friendly and can be applied through either topical means or mixed in with the soil.

The control of dust, typically by the topical application of water, can be a costly and disruptive process – often effective for only a limited time period.

RD10 is a water soluble non-hazardous emulsion that is designed specifically for:

  • Dust Suppression
  • Erosion control – stock piles
  • Soil solidification and stabilization

The application of RD10 is completed by adding a percentage of the product to the water being used to control dust. Any water source can be used as the water is simply a carrier for the RD10 agent. Depending on the application, various rates of RD10 can be used.

Tekcrete™ Fast

TekCrete Fast was developed in response to customer  demand for a shotcrete (gunite) with effectively immediate strength on application. TekCrete Fast may be used with or without steel or polymer mesh, although the use of mesh will provide additional tensile and flexural strength.

Fiber reinforced, this product offers superlative adhesion characteristics with typical compressive strengths over 11,000 psi. It is ideally suited for use where immediate structural strength is required.

Binding broken base material together for better structural integrity, TekCrete Fast can be used anywhere where conventional shotcrete (gunite) is used and with any coating or sealant. It performs best when applied as soon as possible after the base material is exposed. Including rebound, TekCrete Fast has a surface coverage of approximately 8.2 ft2 per 60lb. bag at an application thickness of 1⁄2“.

Pumpable Chemicals

Our innovative silicate resin products are used as breakers and pillows ensuring safe and cost-effective O & G pipeline installation.

Product title
TekTrench

Minova’s Tektrench is a pumpable two-component, expandable polyurea silicate grout used to construct pillows and breakers that support oil & gas or utility pipelines.

The speed of installation reduces downtime and improves pipeline installation productivity.

The product is water permeable and has superior adhesion characteristics making it an excellent choice to slow the ingress of water in trenches.

Tektrench eliminates the need to manually handle and place heavy sandbags replacing it with a simple pumped-in-place installation method.

Worker injury risks are mitigated and safety is improved as workers no longer need to be in confined trench spaces placing sandbags.

Field operational efficiency is also improved, and material consumption rates reduced all the while requiring less manpower.

Costs and environmental impact are lowered by not having to ship numerous truckloads of sand to remote locations, thus lowering overall project carbon footprint when compared to traditional sandbag installations.

Tektrench from Minova is the first self-expanding foam specifically designed for the pipeline industry. Tektrench is a structural foam used in the application of pillows and breakers for all trenching projects.

Applied from outside the trench, Tektrench is more efficient than placing sandbags. Unlike polyurethane foams, Tektrench reacts at a much lower temperature. The lower temperature reduces environmental risks associated with excessively high temperatures leading to self-ignition.

The lower temperature of Tektrench will not degrade the quality or effectiveness of the pipes outer coating.

With consistent expansion ratios, Tektrench significantly reduces overall project material consumption and transport costs. It also supports cathodic protection, further extending pipeline life expectancy.

Let Tektrench improve your pipeline project efficiency and lifespan.
