Specialist Gate Valve Fittings
Client – Kent Climate Solutions Ltd
Site Location – Tate Modern Gallery, Bankside, London
Contract Duration – One shift, out of hours
Pipe Freezing Services Supplied:
Two Gate Valve Installed for the Tate Modern Galley, London
Key Highlights of Services:
Our experienced engineers attended the site to carry out our pipe freezing services to replace two Gate Valves.
Firstly, we applied a freeze jacket around the discharge pipework and then poured liquid nitrogen into the jacket. This allowed the area to freeze and the flow to stop.
Once it had taken hold, we were able to remove the old 100mm discharge Gate Valve and replace with a new one.
Secondly, our team then carried out a replacement for a 80mm Gate Valve.
Lastly, we then allowed the pipework to thaw and checked for leaks.
IDWe Ltd supplied both replacement Gate Valves and the works were carried out of normal working hours.
Result of Works:
There was minimal disruption to services – which saved our client time and money, by not having to drain down the whole system.
The site was left clean and tidy, and all redundant items were disposed of at a licensed refuse/recycling facility.
