Contract Duration – One Day
Gate Valve Maintenance –
- Our experienced engineers attended the site to carry out our pipe freezing services to replace two Gate Valves at the Tate Modern in London.
- Firstly, we applied a freeze jacket around the discharge pipework and then poured liquid nitrogen into the jacket. This allowed the area to freeze and the flow to stop.
- Once it had taken hold, we were able to remove the old 100mm discharge Gate Valve and replace with a new one.
- Secondly, our team then carried out a replacement for a 80mm Gate Valve.
- Lastly, we then allowed the pipework to thaw and checked for leaks.
- IDWe Ltd supplied both replacement Gate Valves and the works were carried out of normal working hours.
Result –
There was minimal disruption to services – which saved our client time and money, by not having to drain down the whole system.
The site was left clean and tidy, and all redundant items were disposed of at a licensed refuse/recycling facility.
