Pipe Pressure:            5 bar

LINE STOPPING & BY-PASS SERVICE

SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Line stopping is a method that temporarily stops the pipe flow in a section of the pipe so as to allow for alteration and addition works to be carried out at the downstream of the pipeline; without stopping or purging the system.

 

By-pass service is a procedure that utilizes two line stop machines that will stop the pipe flow in a section of the pipe, while re-routing or divert the pipe flow through a by-pass section so that alteration works can be carried out while the system is in operation.

PROBLEMS FACED IN ALTERATION WORKS

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS OF LINE STOPPING

Line Stopping is used in the following applications:

· Alteration works to downstream of line stop location

· Preparing the pipeline for bypass operation

· Installing double line stops and a bypass for valve insertion

· Installing double line stops and bypass for permanent relocation

OUR LINE STOPPING/ BY-PASS CAPABILITIES

We are capable of providing line stopping service for the following applications:

· Line stopping of pipeline diameter up to 24”

· Line stopping of pipeline operating pressure up to 2,000 psig

· Line stopping of pipeline temperature up to 300°C

· Line stopping of pipeline containing oil, gas, water, steam or wastewater
