A method of re-manufacturing a composite riser section having a damaged
original metal liner comprises inserting an expandable replacement liner
into the bore of the composite riser section and positioning the
replacement liner to cover the metal liner. An annular recess may be
formed circumferentially into the damaged portion of the metal liner to
accommodate the replacement liner. The replacement liner is radially
expanded within the composite riser section and a seal is created to
prevent fluid inside the composite riser from flowing around the
replacement liner, through the damaged liner, and to the outside of the
composite riser.
