Case Study: Liquid Nitrogen Pipe Freeze at Dover Cruise Terminal 1

Project Overview

IDWe Ltd was tasked with conducting a liquid nitrogen pipe freeze at Dover Cruise Terminal 1. This challenging pipework isolation project required our skilled engineers to work out of normal business hours in a confined space, within a trench excavation. Our role was essential in enabling other contractors to install an isolation valve safely and effectively. Our reliable team’s expertise and accreditations in confined space operations ensured compliance with all safety guidelines and regulations in the excavation area. This case study highlights the steps we took to complete the project with precision and professionalism.

Project Execution

Site Assessment and Preparation

Our engineers attended the site outside normal working hours to assess the location and ensure no flow within the pipework. The new isolation valve was to be installed at a minimum distance of 1000mm from the freeze point. Thorough excavation of the trench, approximately 6 meters in depth, was carried out to expose the pipework. A sump pump was deployed to ensure the pit remained dry, preventing any water from compromising the freeze. Additionally, we installed a forced extraction fan to improve air circulation within the trench. Safety measures included equipping our engineers with gas monitors, detectors, and harnesses before entering the confined space.

Pipe Freezing Process

Our skilled team installed a 10-inch pipe jacket around the targeted pipe section. After confirming the system’s readiness, we initiated the liquid nitrogen pipe freezing process. A drain point was incorporated after the freeze to accommodate expansion in the pipework and to verify the freeze’s success. Once the freeze was complete, other contractors carried out their work to install the isolation valve. IDWe Ltd then released the pipe freeze and conducted thorough leak checks to ensure the integrity of the system.

Completion and Cleanup

After completing the project, our team meticulously cleared the site of all redundant materials and transported them to a licensed recycling and refuse facility. We followed all safety protocols and left the site in pristine condition.

What is Pipe Freezing?

Pipe freezing is a precise and efficient method used to isolate sections of pipework without the need for drainage or shutdowns. By using liquid nitrogen, this technique creates an ice plug within the pipe. This process effectively halts the pipework flow, allowing maintenance or modifications to proceed safely and efficiently.
