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

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.

BEM Pipeline Assessment For Railroad Crossing

Assessing ferrous pipe walls provides critical data to determine the condition and integrity of pipelines. When a utility needed to assess a section of a 20 inch cast iron main that runs under a railroad right-of-way, Broadband Electromagnetic Probe (BEM) accurately assessed the condition and the degree of corrosion or graphitization.
