Cold Weather Repair Preventing Plant Shutdown

A leak developed on a 20-inch underground line operating at 200 psi, with additional leaks suspected. An attempted weld repair was unsuccessful, leaving the line at risk and requiring immediate action to prevent further damage and operational disruption.

The Problem

A water leak was detected on a 20-inch underground line operating at 200 psi. The leak was located with additional leaks suspected. An initial attempt to weld the line was unsuccessful, leaving the line at risk of further damage. The situation required an immediate and effective response to prevent operational disruptions.

The Solution

RAK’s team quickly mobilized to address the leak and implement a comprehensive repair strategy to stop the leak and stabilize the line. Our team applied preventative measures to ensure the long-term stability of the system, successfully restoring the line to full operation. By completing the repairs swiftly and efficiently, RAK’s work prevented the plant from shutting down. RAK’s team remained on standby through the night and into the following day, prepared to handle any further issues if they arose.
