Never chase air or store glycol again. Did you know that we perform hot taps, line stops, and nitrogen line freezes for the mechanical, industrial and municipal industries? Please take a look at some of the small-diameter hot taps we have performed for mechanical contractors and plumbers over the last few months. We can wet or dry tap flanged or
Our Vancouver Island crews were in Nanaimo all week getting ready for Line Stops on 36″ Carbon Steel and 42″ HDPE sanitary sewer mains. This work will be completed with the use of folding line stop heads that will enter the sewer main through 24″ hot taps off the top of the pipe. 2EA 16″ bypass hot taps are also
Typically what we post on social medial is the large diameter or technically demanding pipe freezes. However, most days are spent performing small diameter pipe freezes (ice plugs) using liquid nitrogen freezing technologies. Whether small or large, we perform all of this work “hands-free” using high-pressure nitrogen tanks. After the sleeves are installed, and the hoses are run, there is
Rarely is there ever a need to bypass pump a sewer force main. With line stops and bypass hot taps, you can typically let the pumps already in the system complete the bypass pumping for you. Pacific Flow Control completed this 24″ double line stop on a C900 PVC sewer forcemain complete with 2EA 24×16 C900/FL bypass wet taps in
Do you have valves that don’t work in your system? What about sieved valves in a confined space 1300FT underground? Pacific Flow Control has the technology and safe work practices and procedures to fix your isolation issues. Last week we completed a 10″ and 6″ liquid nitrogen pipe freeze at this industrial mining facility in British Columbia. With two (2)
Would you like to access or tie in a branch connection to 304 or 316 stainless steel pipe without shutting down? Whether you need hot taps, line stops, or freezing, Pacific Flow Control has the experience you need. Take a look at these 8 – 8×2 304SST/IPT hot taps we completed in Maple Ridge, BC. If you can’t or if
Why shut down? Pacific Flow Control has been hot tapping Concrete Pressure Pipe (CPP) for over 40 years. Yesterday we completed a 20×12 AWWA C303 wet tap for the City of Calgary on a beautiful piece of bar-wrapped concrete pressure pipe. If you have PCCP (AWWA C301), RCCP (C303) or RCP pipe that you’d like to tap into, give us
Valve inserts are an excellent option for you when you need new inline valves on your water or sewer infrastructure but can’t shut down. Yesterday, we installed the 10,” and 12″ Valve Inserts shown in the featured photo in Medicine Hat, AB. Team Industries manufacture the ductile iron resilient wedge insert valves (gate valves). Engineered to 250PSI, these RWGV’s remove
No valve? No problem. In Northern BC, an industrial facility recently called Pacific Flow Control to line stop (isolate) a 20″ 304SST process water line for an emergency leak repair. PFC expedited the fabrication and freight of a JCM 440 stainless steel line stop fitting, hot tapped it and got the line isolated using a 1220 folding line stop. PFC
We are often asked if we can hot tap (wet tap) HDPE water and sewer mains. The answer is yes. HDPE pipe can be hot tapped through either an electrofusion fitting or a mechanical tapping sleeve. Pacific Flow Control is happy to perform either service for you turnkey. This photo is of an 18×12 HDPE/FL ElctroFusion hot tap we did
