What safety precautions should be taken before installing a pipeline?

 


Before getting to install various types of pipelines like gas, oil, thermal, etc. There are various safety precautions and measures one should follow to keep themselves safe. 

Firstly, wear a proper PPE kit to avoid any contact with the harmful substances available in the installation procedure. Keep a safe distance of 25-50meters varying upon the potential harm of the substance. Don’t get exposed to any sort of radiation, thermal or mechanical. Aggressive materials and atmospheric agents. 

There are things that are literally not allowed while pipeline installations like being positioned near heat wires, district heat ducts, cold water pipes. Don’t force any of the parts into the installation. Don’t come in contact with the boiling discharged gases, Compromise mechanical stability, fire-protection. 

The must-do while installation is as important, always do it while the time of the construction and take measures to prevent infiltration of substances. Duct openings and openings of closure devices should be closed entirely. The route of the gas installation should be as short as possible and with as few connections as possible.

The pipeline should be positioned in such a way that it does not damage the mechanical parts or put them at risk. While installing certain devices ensure maintaining a safe distance to keep yourself safe.

Features and Benefits of Pipeline Transportation

Image
Oil and gas pipelines are vital infrastructure elements that play a crucial role in the distribution of important resources like crude oil, petroleum and natural gas. Countries depend on pipelines for their energy needs and industrial applications. Made of steel or polyethylene and installed with link seals and end seals for the perfect vacuum, these pipes safely transport large quantities of petroleum and crude oil derivatives for residential, commercial and industrial use across large distances.  It’s safe to say that pipelines are the desired way to transport such large quantities of resources. When we compare this mode of transportation to others such as by air, sea or railways, our previous point becomes abundantly clear.  Comparing Pipelines to Regular Types of Transportation Oil and gas pipelines can seamlessly transport huge quantities of resources directly from the wells to the end-user at a much lower cost than other means of transport.  The payload is usuall...

Benefits of using pipe wear pads

Image
  Before getting to know about the benefits of pipe wear pads, let’s start off with what are pipe wear pads? Pipe wear pads are pipeliners that are used on the outer diameter of the pipe structure. The pipe wear pads are usually made out of Fiber-reinforced polymer also known as fiber-reinforced liner. These are fitted in such a manner that it acts as a support structure for the pipeline where the vibrations in the pipeline rub against each other at a defined distance according to the entire pipeline layout. It is used in the installation of gas pipelines, oil pipelines, water substance pipelines , etc.  The pipe wear pads are also recognized by names like wear pads, pipe pads, or FPR pads for short forms. The greater use of these pads is worn resistance, noise reduction, greatly reduced friction, and high strength. Mostly used in industrial installations.  A gentle reminder, it’s important to get your pipeline systems a check-up from the specialists in case it needs assi...

Pipeline rehabilitation Vs Repiping- What is a better approach?

Image
  Pipeline installations done ages ago to transport fuel, water or gas need constant monitoring. Casing insulators are used to insulate and provide long-term protection from corrosion. Due to aging, they are at constant risk of corrosion or leaks. The damage caused to these pipelines is not only losing the resources but also the environmental harm they will cause due to leaks or eruptions. The question of whether to go for rehabilitation or repiping becomes critical for pipeline installation companies . It is important to access the pros and cons of both to come to a decision. Cost is a critical factor Pipeline rehabilitation and repiping both have a cost attached to them. Both labor and material costs should be considered before making the decision. While rehabilitation may be beneficial for the short term and may cost less than repiping it is important to take into account the cost of shutting down the pipeline for rehabilitation. The interruption during repair may also lead t...
