Reinforcement strip for repairing fluid transport pipes

A reinforcing tape (20) suitable for repairing a fluid transport pipe (10) by wrapping said tape under tension around a portion of the pipe where the repair must be performed while, at the same time, a crosslinking resin is applied to form a sleeve (16) around said portion of the pipe;

• said reinforcing tape comprising several metal wires (22) embedded in a longitudinal direction of the tape, the electrical properties of said wires being suitable for use in operations involving crosslinking of said resin, detection of said portion of the pipe comprising the sleeve or detection of repaired portions of the pipe that have increased in diameter due to wall thinning,
• wherein said wires are embedded in only half of said tape such that, each time the tape is wrapped around the pipe, the half comprising the wires overlaps half-way the previous winding not comprising wires such that there can be no short-circuiting between the portions of wires of consecutive windings.
