Line Stopping Services

A temporary plug is installed in the pipeline using specialized equipment, such as a line stopping actuator. The plug isolates the section of the pipeline where maintenance or repair work needs to be performed, allowing the remaining pipeline to continue to operate as normal.

The benefits of Line Stopping Service include:

• Reduced downtime: By isolating only the necessary section of the pipeline, the rest of the pipeline can continue to operate, reducing downtime and lost revenue.
• Cost-effective: It saves costs compared to shutting down the entire pipeline for maintenance or repair work.
• Improved safety: Line Stopping Service eliminates the need to shut down the entire pipeline, empty the line medium, purging the system for safety, reducing the risk of accidents, and improving safety for workers.

Line Stopping can be performed on a variety of pipes, including steel, cast iron, ductile iron, PVC, and HDPE.
