Options for Gas Main Replacement

For a cast-iron natural gas main, initial replacement options for Peoples Gas in Chicago seemed straightforward—plastic or steel pipes. Logistical, operational and system constraints led the utility to explore an alternative solution: trenchless pipe-lining technology.

Trenchless Technology, Building Pipe Rehab

UV CIPP RENEWS 36-INCH STORM DRAIN AFTER OTHERS ...

After a previously installed liner failed, UV CIPP proved an ideal solution to rehabilitate a leaking 36-inch storm drain under a heavily trafficked road at a manufacturing facility in New Jersey. Interestingly, the leaking stormwater drainpipe had been lined a few years prior.

Gas Utilities & PPM: Proactive Approach to Lining Steel Mains

, ,

Steel gas mains come in a variety of specifics requiring a slightly different approach for reconditioning. A heightened level of awareness needs to be addressed in these three areas before the lining process begins.

LEAK REPAIR TECHNOLOGY FOR BRIDGE PIPELINES

,

Starline® Cured-in-place-lining with carbon fiber SRS is an ideal solution to repair gas leaks within bridge pipelines. Of the 614,387 suspension bridges in the U.S, forty two percent are 50 years or older. In the Northeast, gas pipelines and bridges are typically 75 - 100 years old.

SUPPORTING OPERATORS AS THEY IMPLEMENT THE 2020 PIPES ACT

, ,

The 2020 PIPES ACT incorporates new regulatory requirements that formalize and amplify emission reduction as a component of pipeline safety. Bob Wilson shares tools, technology and practices to consider as operators integrate the mandates into their day-to-day operations.
