Pipe Freezing
- Overview
Pipe freezing is a method that allows for pipe maintenance or line modification without the need for a costly shut down. This specialist process involves the use of liquid nitrogen and solid freeze plugs to allow a pipe line to be isolated, withstanding various pressures.
This method minimises the cost of system drain down, refill and system down time and is managed by our fully qualified service technicians. Upon completion of the pipe modification or maintenance, the plugs are thawed and the line becomes fully operational.
