Pipelines are an essential medium to transport oil and gas all over the country. Pipeline installation in India has led to successful transportation of these crucial yet flammable commodities through a vast network of on- and offshore pipelines. Regular inspections and maintenance ensure that any damage due to corrosion or leaks can be repaired in time. Pipelines are used to distribute petroleum products and natural gas liquids and thus their safety is a critical factor to be considered during pipeline installation . To ensure the integrity of the pipelines, regular maintenance and repairs must be performed to ensure optimum performance and avoid system failures.  Regular inspections are required for two reasons: Any defect during the oil or gas pipeline installation that goes undetected can cause deterioration or cause a leak that can be dangerous.  Most of the pipelines run underground. They cross over barriers as well. Though link and end seal s ensure that no outside parti...

Underground pipelines are important to any modern economy. Underground pipeline leak repair must be done whenever required. A pipeline needs to be regularly inspected and maintained throughout its lifespan. The pipeline network provides resources for the entire population of the country.  Here are some tips for underground pipeline leak repair . A pipeline may have to pass through barriers and a link seal helps lock any external particle to enter the main pipeline. Detecting a leak can help pipeline installation companies to control losses human, financial, and environmental.  An underground pipeline may fail due to corrosion. There may be leaks over a period of time in link or end seal . Identifying the defect becomes a vital part of the repair, ensuring the smooth functioning of the pipeline. Gathering data through site study helps to identify possible threats. Choosing the right way for underground pipeline leak repair is important. A repair can be done by the sleeve repa...

Tubing is used to transport oil or gas and   casing insulators   protect these tubes. The casing pipeline keeps the main pipe safe. When the pipelines are crossing through any barrier, a   link seal   helps to seal the penetration. The   end seal   helps to ensure that nothing enters between the space between a carrier pipe (tubing) and a casing pipe. Link seal is oil, gas, fire, and extreme temperature resistant. Casing insulators  help in preventing: Contamination of freshwater, Instability in upper formations, Isolating zones that have different pressures while drilling. Casing insulators  are horizontal in shape. Casing pipes are made from steel. Located near r i vers, highways, railroads, and other such areas, pipelines are inside casings. Casings size can be 20inches to 7inches run through drilling hole sizes of 24 inches, 17 and a half inches,12 and a half inches, and 8 and a half inches. Tubing is usually cylindrical in shape. It can be ro...

  Pipelines undergo numerous inspections and pipeline rehabilitation companies use the latest technology to reduce the chances of a leak or a rupture. But whether it is a   gas pipeline in India   or an oil pipeline in India, they run much longer. Once they are installed it is more likely that a pipe will need to be repaired at some point in the future. Here are 5 tips to repair the underground pipe leak. Detecting the leak on time - Detecting the leak on time helps to quickly control the discharge and start the underground pipeline leak repair. Detecting a leak can help pipeline installation companies to control losses(human and financial) and environmental impacts. There are three ways to detect a leak: External - It is a method in which Leaks can be detected with the use of man-made methods to detect the leak in the pipelines. Internal -  In this method, the rehabilitation team may use software that works on algorithms and sensor monitoring systems to check ...

  All the pipeline installation companies are aware that a pipeline leak can be devastating for both the environment and humans. There are a number of reasons that may impact the working of a pipeline. For example corrosion, faulty operation in a link or end seal , excavation, failure of equipment, or even a natural disaster. As a result, pipelines need to be repaired and sometimes an underground pipeline leak repair is required to fix the issue. What is pipeline maintenance? Pipeline installation companies do a regular check on pipeline functions. This check is done to ensure that the pipeline is transporting fuel and there is no leak. This requires regular inspections to check that the pipeline is working fine. Pipeline maintenance is critical keeping in mind the cost involved in replacement. What is Pipeline Integrity Management(PIM)? PIM is an action taken to ensure the integrity of the pipeline. Pipeline integrity means making sure the pipeline is safe from the time it is ins...

Liquefied Petroleum Gas also known as LPG is directly supplied to factories or houses via pipeline installation . Typically, propane and butane are mixed to make LPG, which can be found in a gaseous state. In most cases, it is stored under pressure. Pipeline installation companies help to transport LPG to consumers.  There are three major LPG suppliers in India.  Indane Gas which is being run by IOC (Indian Oil Corporation) Bharat Gas which is being run by BPCL (Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited) HP Gas which is being run by HPCL (Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited) These are government-owned companies. The LPG supplied through a gas pipeline in India is being sourced through any one of the above three.  The procedure to get a gas connection is: Step 1 - You need to first find a gas agency near you that will service your area. You can either visit the distributor or check online using your Pincode. Step 2 - You need to download a gas pipeline in India form. It is ...

  Pipelines carrying fuels and gases are protected with the help of  casing insulators . Also known as casing spacers. These explosive and highly inflammable materials are transported in a carrier pipe which is covered with a casing. These pipelines are decades old and thus at risk of leak or rupture. They run underground therefore they have the capability to affect the soil and the water which is used by the nearby locals. To protect these pipelines from corrosion and to save from leaks or ruptures, casing insulators are put between the casing and the carrier pipe. These are electrical insulators that are easy to install and provide support to the carrier pipe. At the end of each pipeline, a seal is placed known as the  end seal . AT the end of the junction the casing and carrier pipe has an opening, end seal ensures that no foreign particle enters the space. These seals are flexible and move with the pipes. They are easy to install and light on the pocket. Underground p...

  The Indian government has big plans for the gas pipeline in India . They plan to invest Rs.7.5 trillion in the development of gas and oil infrastructure. The gas requirement of the country is 53% imported and they are working to meet these growing gas needs and limit imports. Over the next five years, the prime minister has big plans to expand the gas pipeline infrastructure in India. Till 2024, India is planning to spend $60 billion on building an infrastructure that includes gas terminals and distribution networks across the country.  The pipeline installation companies are all set to create a gas pipeline network that is 16000 kilometers long. They are hopeful the network would be completed in the next four to six years. The most recent 450 km Kochi-Mangaluru gas pipeline is completed and will be serving 2.1 million people with piped natural gas. Along with the pipeline installation , 700 compressed natural gas stations are also installed. The Kochi-Mangaluru Gas pipeline...

  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...
