Abstract
Soil stress and cathodic protection shielding problems of tape coatings have been two of the most discussed problems in the pipeline industry. The challenge to develop a tape coating system that helps mitigate these problems was taken by one company approximately ten years ago. This particular tape coating system has a woven geotextile fabric backing (soil side) over a compound composed of a rubber modified bitumen. This tape system is cold applied by wrapping over a properly prepared and primed pipe surface and has been successful in overcoming many of the problems associated with soil stress and CP shielding.
