Pacific Flow Control recently completed a 42-inch Double Block and Bleed (DBB) line stop on AWWA C303 pipe, providing the additional level of pipeline isolation required for downstream confined-space work. This project is a good example of how the requirements of the work taking place downstream can determine the type of line stopping solution needed. Installing a line stop is
Pacific Flow Control recently completed a 30″ x 12″ hot tap on a carbon steel feedermain, including the installation of the tapping sleeve and valve, pressure testing, and the hot tap itself. The project was completed safely and efficiently without interrupting service, demonstrating the value of careful planning and experienced execution. In live pipeline work, success begins long before the
Pacific Flow Control has recently completed several valve insertion projects across Alberta, helping municipalities and utility operators improve their water distribution systems without interrupting service. Valve insertion is one of the most efficient methods for adding permanent isolation points to an existing pressurized pipeline. Rather than shutting down large sections of a water system, this technology allows new valves to
Over the past month, Pacific Flow Control has completed several no-valve hot tap projects across Western Canada. Among them, one of the most notable was a 36×30 inch no-valve hot tap performed on a Prestressed Concrete Cylinder Pipe (PCCP) domestic water transmission main in Kelowna, British Columbia. Projects of this scale showcase the advantages of modern live pipeline intervention techniques.
Maintaining reliable water service while upgrading aging infrastructure is an ongoing challenge for municipalities and utility operators. A recent 24×16-inch hot tap completed by the Flow Control Grroup team demonstrates how live pipeline intervention techniques can be used to modify critical transmission infrastructure without interrupting service. Large-diameter PCCP transmission mains form the backbone of many municipal water systems throughout North
We recently completed a 42-inch wall tap through a 15-inch thick reinforced concrete reservoir wall in Ontario, Canada. Projects like this demonstrate how specialized pipeline and infrastructure services allow municipalities and utilities to safely modify critical systems while maintaining operational continuity throughout their communities. Reservoir wall taps are highly specialized operations that require precise planning, engineered fittings and equipment, and experienced technicians.
Pacific Flow Control recently completed a valve insertion project in the City of Brandon. During this project, our team installed four 10-inch Mueller valve inserts and one 5-inch valve insert. Projects like this help municipalities improve control over their water systems while keeping the pipeline in service and minimizing disruptions to residents. What Is a Valve Insert A valve insert
Our team has recently completed several valve insertion projects, and we’d like to highlight how this service can make a difference for your system. If you need additional shutoff points or have valves that no longer function, Pacific Flow Control has the expertise to help. 12″ Mueller Valve Insert on Ductile Iron Pipe – Calgary, AB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hb4jpEkOhWA What is Valve
Pacific Flow Control recently completed a major 36-inch line stop in the Edmonton area. This emergency project helped prevent a full system shutdown for a large community, highlighting our ability to respond quickly and safely to high-pressure pipeline challenges. What Is a Line Stop? A line stop is a method used to temporarily block off a section of pressurized pipe,
At Pacific Flow Control, we specialize in keeping critical infrastructure operational, even during maintenance or upgrades. Recently, we completed a challenging and highly technical project: a double 36” (900mm) line stop on a transmission water main in Surrey, BC, part of the Greater Vancouver Area. This project showcases our expertise in maintaining essential services while enabling critical repairs or modifications.
