Professional Pipe Freezing Services in Southampton

Our experienced engineers performed the liquid nitrogen freezing in Southampton Airport Hanger 1, with precision and efficiency. By applying liquid nitrogen, we rapidly cooled the axle area, shrinking the metal for smooth removal and fitting of the new part. This method ensured minimal downtime and maximised safety for the maintenance works.

Added Protection and Efficiency During Repairs

Combining liquid nitrogen pipe freezing with protective shrink wrapping enhances aircraft component safety during maintenance. This combination shields vital parts from environmental damage. Moisture control during the heat/shrink process prevents corrosion and rust, extending component lifespan. By combining these methods, repairs become faster, safer, and more reliable. This efficient approach reduces downtime and maximises performance.

Pipe Freezing and Its Key Advantages

What is Pipe Freezing?

Pipe freezing offers a smart solution for isolating pipework sections without draining the entire system. Liquid nitrogen freezes the pipe’s contents rapidly, forming a solid ice plug. This plug blocks the targeted area, allowing maintenance or modifications to proceed smoothly.

Key Benefits of Commercial Pipe Freezing

  • Uninterrupted Operations: Pipe freezing methods keep your system running during maintenance, reducing downtime.
  • Cost Efficiency: Pipe freeze solutions eliminate the need for full system drainage and refilling, saving time and costs.
  • Environmental Protection: Pipe freezing prevents hazardous or costly fluids from being released, supporting eco-friendly practices.
  • Faster Maintenance: Ice plugs form quickly, enabling technicians to finish repairs faster than traditional methods allow.
