Project Details: Located at pipeline transfer station west of Edson, Alberta, 11,000 tons of impacted soil from historical operations and spill events, Hydrocarbon impacts: BTEX, VPH and LEPH, Active pipeline area with the pending expansion of Trans Mountain ...
In today's fast-paced world, ensuring the integrity of plumbing and sewer systems is essential for both residential and commercial properties. One of the most effective tools for diagnosing issues within pipes is the pipe inspection camera. These specialized remote inspection cameras are designed to provide a comprehensive view of the interior of pipes, allowing technicians to spot problems that ...
As winter approaches, underground infrastructure is exposed to significant stress. Freezing and thawing cycles place constant pressure on pipelines, causing damage that often remains invisible until a break or a backup occurs. Every year, these conditions lead to costly repairs, service disruptions, and emergency interventions—many of which could be avoided with preventive inspection. ...
Fixed sensors are typically installed at both upstream and downstream locations in a pipeline and measure flow by transmitting acoustic signals. ...
Unlike mobile pump trucks, it is fixed in one location during operation and relies on pipelines laid across the construction site to deliver concrete to the required areas. ...
Unlike boom pumps, which may have restrictions on height and maneuverability, trailer pumps can be positioned at a distance and pump concrete through pipelines to precise locations. This makes them well-suited for bridge decks, piers, and foundations. ...
Insertion flowmeters are suitable for installation in existing pipeline systems, while inline flowmeters are suitable for new pipelines. The installation location should also take into account the fluid flow conditions and ease of installation.Liquid vortex flowmeters have broad application prospects in modern industry. The selection process ...
Preparation phase -Ensure shutdown safety: Before any calibration, it is necessary to ensure that there is no flow in the pipeline where the electromagnetic flowmeter is located and that appropriate measures have been taken to prevent accidental startup. ...
The range of challenging real-world applications demonstrates the reliability of PlugCo’s inflatable pipe plugs, joint testers and pipe rehabilitation equipment. The various versatile products offered by PlugCo have found global usage in leak testing operations of metropolitan cities and oil and gas maintenance projects. The following case studies demonstrate how PlugCo supports essential ...
Pumping Cylinders: Dual cylinders that alternate to push concrete through the delivery pipeline. S-Valve: A crucial component that directs the flow of concrete from the cylinders to the pipeline. Hopper: A container that holds the concrete before it is pumped. Delivery Pipeline: A series of pipes and hoses that transport concrete to the desired ...
According to experience, the ultrasonic flowmeter measurement results are often affected by the air retained in the pipeline, therefore, before installation should be further confirmed whether there is easy to accumulate air in the pipeline, choose the appropriate location to set up the exhaust point, in order to improve the accuracy of the ...
Fiber optic measurement is the process of evaluating the optical and physical properties of fiber optic systems to ensure their performance aligns with desired standards. This includes measuring parameters such as light transmission, signal loss, and alignment accuracy to detect faults, improve system performance, and ensure compliance with global standards. For instance, a telecommunications ...
The test week activities included “announced” leaks for calibrating the monitoring equipment, “blind” tests using both water and nitrogen with leaks initiated at different pressures and durations in a damp sand test bed and tests in a submerged condition with one of the test boxes completely filled with water. hifi Engineering monitored for leaks from a remote ...
The U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has proposed new rules for monitoring pipeline methane leaks in May 2023, which will take effect six months after final confirmation. Pipeline operators will be required to establish a written Advanced Leak Detection Procedure (ALDP) that includes methane leak detection equipment with commercially available advanced ...
Is your CP monitoring equipment built with modular, upgradable future-proof components that will enable it to survive into the next era of wireless communication? Changing Regulations The US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration, which is the chief regulator for US oil and gas pipelines, is initiating a new Mega Rule on July 1 to improve ...
For decades, remote monitoring technology has made it easier for pipeline operators to monitor cathodic protection systems in pipelines that service remote or difficult-to-access locations. Due to limited cellular reception in some of these locations, operators and technicians rely on satellite communications to transmit data to ...
This means that CP performance data must be collected from every mile of the network—whether in an urban, rural or remote location. With such extensive assets stretching across expansive areas, efficiency, experience and safety are paramount to ensure successful monitoring of pipeline assets. ...
Understanding Pipeline Integrity Pipeline integrity is all about keeping pipelines operating properly throughout their life cycle. ...
This update will introduce significant changes to the reporting requirements for pipeline operators with new rules that aim to enhance pipeline safety and transparency, focusing particularly on gas transmission pipelines. PHMSA has revised section 192.473 to mandate interference surveys for pipelines affected by stray currents. ...
In the wake of incidents like the 2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion and the 2012 Sissonville rupture, pipeline regulations are being updated to put a bigger emphasis on public safety and the environment. ...
