Repair methods are key operations for the integrity management of pipelines. The parameters guiding the repair decision are briefly reminded. A nonexhaustive external and internal repair techniques are described, notably grinding and weld deposition techniques, metallic and various composite sleeves which are developed for 25 years. The main advantages of different repair techniques are summarized in conclusion and perspectives are given.
