Ship construction and maintenance

Building and maintaining ships involves myriad plumbing and pipeline systems that must perform reliably in marine environments. BETRO-LOCK plugs provide a simple yet effective sealing solution that is easy to use during construction and routine repairs. While they are not the only tools used, they complement the overall toolkit by offering a reliable way to manage water, fuel, and waste systems onboard.

Routine safety checks and repairs

Safety is paramount in shipbuilding and ongoing maintenance. BETRO-LOCK plugs play a role in routine safety checks and repairs, providing a basic seal that helps in the inspection and maintenance of various systems. They are particularly useful for isolating sections of piping during leak testing, although their role is just one part of a broader safety protocol.

Utility during dry dock repairs

When ships are brought into dry dock for repairs and maintenance, many systems need to be tested and certified before returning to service. BETRO-LOCK plugs can be used to temporarily seal pipes during these checks. Their utility in this context is appreciated for its simplicity, aiding in quick setups and modifications without adding unnecessary complexity to the repair processes.

BETRO-LOCK plugs are a handy option in the shipbuilding and repair industry, helping to maintain the integrity and functionality of various marine systems. While they are useful, they are part of a larger array of tools and processes that ensure ships are built and maintained to high standards. As the industry evolves, BETRO-LOCK plugs remain a useful, though not overly complex, tool in the shipbuilder’s kit.

We used an adapted plug for ROV to seal pipes on the seabed in connection with cleaning. The plug fit perfectly. It stayed longer than planned, but with the quality and strength of these plugs it was no problem.
