IC Integrity Pty Limited, a key ICR Group partner, has landed a significant contract with an operator in Australia.
The agreement sees IC Integrity deploy its Technowrap™ technology for planned maintenance campaigns on several facilities.
Perth-based IC Integrity is a technology-focused provider of specialist maintenance inspection and integrity solutions across multiple sectors.
This latest contract builds on a long history of collaboration with the client.
Russell Collins, Regional Director (APAC) at IC Integrity, said: “This is a substantial project that truly reflects both the successful relationship we’ve developed with the client and our team’s commitment to engineering and technical excellence. We were selected and trusted to work on this project following a competitive tender process.
“This is an important project for us, and this contract with a key industry player again involves the use of our Technowrap™ composite solution, which has become an increasingly common feature of planned maintenance campaigns – not least because of its low carbon footprint.”
Chris Otterbeck, Service Delivery Manager at IC Integrity, said: “We have completed more than 100 applications of the Technowrap™ composite solution for this client and the latest award reflects well on our dependable technology, technical capability and extensive track record.”
As the world moves towards a lower carbon emission future, the firm’s Technowrap™ and Quickflange™ products continue to offer significant benefits in the context of the climate change agenda.
Technowrap™ provides life-long repairs that can be applied to internal, external and through-wall defects on complex geometries. It reduces emissions by 66% compared to the traditional replacement methods.
Quickflange™ offers cold work solutions with weldless, high-performance flange-to-pipe connections. It is a cost-effective and efficient solution generating up to 80% time saving and a 57% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over traditional welding.
In addition, INSONO™ is an innovative NDT (non-destructive testing) technique for the inspection of engineered composite repairs. It can validate the condition and integrity of composite repairs, giving operators long-term performance assurance.
ICR Group has partners in 25 countries and offices in the UK, Norway, USA and the Middle East. IC Integrity is a joint venture between ICR Group and IAS (UGL).

ICR Group is set to highlight its innovative technologies by contributing to a broader conversation on decarbonisation strategies at Offshore Europe.
Ross McHardy, Group Director at ICR, will be hosting a session entitled ‘Small Steps for a Bigger Change: Decarbonisation Through Technology’. The event on Tuesday, September 5 (10am-11.15am) at Aberdeen’s P&J Live will also feature other industry leaders.
This seminar is part of the Collaboration Zone, an initiative organised by the Energy Industries Council (EIC). Running throughout the week, the programme offers an avenue for speakers and attendees to exchange knowledge, explore smarter operational methods and present valuable insights gained from past experiences.
In addition’s, ICR’s innovations will be showcased at the same venue on Wednesday, September 6 (10am-10.30am) during a dedicated Technology Spotlight Session. This EIC event, hosted by Josh Cannell, Interim Head of Sales – Quickflange™, and Calum Macnaughton, Inspection and Integrity Engineer at ICR, will put the focus on Quickflange™ and INSONO™. Day 2 of the EIC Collaboration Zone – Navigating Net Zero – is sponsored by ICR.
Ross said: “Offshore Europe serves as an excellent platform to engage with the industry and share best practice and innovative ideas. Decarbonisation stands as a pivotal element in ICR’s strategy for fostering sustainable growth and both these EIC events provide a first-rate opportunity to highlight our ethos and smart technology.”
ICR’s Quickflange™, a weldless connector solution, offers an alternative for cold work applications, particularly for high-performance flange-to-pipe connections. This technology facilitates permanent repairs, enhancing pipeline integrity and ensuring fluid flow, all without the need for welding or hot work. With its wide range of applications, Quickflange™ has proven to be both cost-effective and efficient, reducing repair times by up to 80% compared to traditional methods. Remarkably, it also contributes to a 57% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions when contrasted with conventional welding practices.
INSONO™ is an innovative NDT (non-destructive testing) technique for the inspection of engineered composite repairs. It is a solution that allows for the extension of defined life repairs, reducing waste while avoiding high-carbon emissions from traditional steel replacement alternatives. INSONO™ complements ICR’s Technowrap™ range and provides operators with the assurance their composite repairs are fit for purpose and satisfy regulatory body guidelines on inspection criteria.
Technowrap™, a lifelong repair system, boasts the capability to address internal, external, and through-wall defects, even when dealing with complex geometries. This innovative solution has demonstrated a remarkable 66% reduction in emissions when compared to conventional replacement methods.
In his capacity as Group Director, Ross oversees the ICR repair division, which encompasses Technowrap™, Quickflange™, mechanical services and leak sealing business lines. He holds a BEng in Civil Engineering and an MSc in Offshore Engineering and is a chartered structural engineer. With 30 years of industry experience, he has held senior positions in various companies, including TAQA, EnQuest, and EnerMech.
Offshore Europe is celebrating its 50th anniversary. For more information about the conference & exhibition, please visit https://www.offshore-europe.co.uk/en-gb.html
