We delivered fast, disruption-free pipe freezing services to safely isolate live systems. Enabling services for demolition works to move forward. Using liquid nitrogen, our engineers completed 12 precise pipe freezes across two underground voids during normal working hours. This approach avoided draining systems, reduced risk, and kept essential site services running throughout the enabling phase.
Commercial Pipe Freezing Services
Client – Titan Group
Site Location – Compass School, Essex
Contract Duration – One Day
Pipe Freezing Services Supplied:
We delivered enabling services for demolition, completing 12 liquid nitrogen pipe freezes across two underground pipe voids with no system drain-down.
Enabling Services for Demolition – Key Highlights:
Our engineers worked during normal hours, freezing live systems to reduce disruption, speed up progress, and maintain essential welfare facilities onsite. Breakdown of the pipe freezes:
- Low Temperature Hot Water (LTHW) pipework, on the flow and return, four freezes in total
- Hot Water pipework, on the flow and return, four freezes in total
- Cold Water pipework, mains water and down water service, four freezes in total
After each freeze held, our engineers cut and securely capped all 12 pipes to safely isolate the systems for demolition. We then reconnected the poly pipework feeding welfare units, keeping essential site operations active throughout the enabling works. Finally, we removed all redundant materials and disposed of them responsibly at a licensed recycling and waste facility.
Result of Enabling Services for Demolition:
All 12 pipes were successfully capped off in two separate underground areas.
Going forward this allows the old school to be demolished and make way for the second phase of he new school to be built.
What is Pipe Freezing?
There are several advantages, mostly it’s cost-efficient as you don’t have to drain the entire system to make planned pipe work modifications. Find out more Discover the Ultimate Guide.
