The Way Line Stopping Is Done in the Industry

Allied Pipe Freezing has been in service since 1994 and in the last several years it has stayed committed to high levels of service and delivery of efficient and cost effective solutions irrespective of the size of the project. The company owes its success to very high levels of technical expertise and professionalism that they employ to great effect in every commission.

And, following closely on its commitments is the technology that they deploy to accomplish their projects. As we have mentioned elsewhere about the applicability of the process of Line Stopping, there are very few industries in the world that uses pipes which can’t be serviced with Line Stopping. Line Stopping and the processes that are used therein is perfect for a wide range of materials, viz: Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast / Ductile Iron, Pressurised Concrete Cylinder Pipe, Reinforced Concrete Pipe, Alloys, PVC & Polyethylene to name a few.

Like every tech-intensive processes we know of, Line Stopping begins with planning, proceeds to implementation of the solution and finally to review of what has been delivered.

Attention to project planning is essential in the first phase of every LineStopping project. Allied Pipe Freezing will perform a thorough review of your specific hot tapping application by an experienced and qualified technician to insure a safe and successful implementation in the field. The process starts with a valve which is mounted to the hot tap fitting outlet and the assembly is pressure tested prior to performing the operation. That done, the engineer will drill or bore an opening into the pressurized system, without shut-down, or spilling of the content inside, when everything has been done, the equipment are withdrawn and the valve is closed – thereby completing the process.
