SPS TECHNOLOGY
FPE is a licensed representative of SPS Technology (a metal-elastomer-metal composite) – the revolutionary technology developed and patented in the UK. SPS Technology is approved by all major Classification Societies (LR, ABS, DNV GL, BV, etc...).
SPS is used to reinstate existing structures or to convert them to new uses. It is applied on-site much faster than the conventional "crop and replace" process and minimizes expensive below-deck work. Both uses save labor, time out of service, and money.
- Safeguard personnel
- Extend vessel life
- Eliminate the need for dry-docking
- Permit the use of innovative Cold Work Repair
- Save time & money
- Protect your assets

Benefits & Applications
Benefits

- Efficiency – Allow work in adjacent areas to continue in parallel
- “Low heat” and “No hot work” solution
Applications:
- Corrosion repair
- Tank top reinstatement
- Ice class upgrade
- Deck loading upgrade
- Strengthening existing steel structures
- Noise and vibration damping
- Side and bottom plate reinstatement
