Line Stopping / Line Plugging & By-Pass Service
Line stopping is a procedure that temporarily stops the flow in an operating pipeline without depressurizing or purging, so that the isolated section of pipe can be repaired, replaced or altered.
Line Stopping services as provided by Avionix Energy can be used for:
- Isolating a section of operational pipeline for alteration works
- Preparing the pipeline for bypass operation (i.e. divert the pipe flow via a bypass pipeline while performing pipe maintenance or alteration
By-Pass is a procedure that uses two line stop machine to temporarily stop the flow in one section of an operating pipeline, while diverting the pipe flow through a temporary by-pass; so that the affected section can be repaired.
By-Pass service is used for:
- Isolating a section of operational pipeline while maintaining pipe flow through the entire pipe system
