Laminate covering, in particular tapes and/or wrap-around sheets applied via an auto-wrapping machine, used for the mechanical and corrosion protection of oil, gas and water transmission pipelines. The laminate covering comprises a cross- linked polyolefin outer layer and an inner layer, which may be an adhesive, and has improved mechanical properties when compared to the prior art. The laminate covering may be pre-stretched. Also, a method of applying said laminate covering. The laminate covering can be applied to a pipe in a lower cost, faster application. |
