WellFab completed a double 4” line stop with a temporary bypass to provide the isolation required for the installation of new three-way valves.
The bypass allowed system operation to be maintained while the two line stops isolated the section of piping being modified.
This allowed the contractor to complete the valve installation without draining the system and without a full shutdown of the data centre’s critical mechanical infrastructure.
For facilities where shutdown windows are limited or simply not practical, line stopping can provide an engineered method of isolating existing piping while maintaining service to the rest of the system.
