PROJECTS

Project Icon

36" Flare Lines​

​

  • Composite repairs and mechanical enclosures on adjacent 36" flare lines.

​

  • Significant line weights and piping geometry required comprehensive engineering calculations.

​

  • Simultaneous lifting at multiple location required to minimize pipe stress and reaction loads.
Ovolifts Multi-Jack
Slug Catcher Lifting For Saddle Replacement

60" Slug Catcher​

​

  • A combined 470,000 lbs of lifting force required.

​

  • Complete stress analysis and lift plan required to engineer the lift.

​

  • Scope included removing the saddles for refurbishment.

​

Saddle Replacement​

​

  • Replacement of 80 saddles on NGL lines

​

  • Lines ranging in size from 20" to 36"

​

  • Lifting by crane was ruled out by the owner due to the uncontrolled nature of the resulting lift.

​

  • An engineered approach was required.
Lifting Insulated Lines For Saddle Replacement
Ovolifts Multi-Jack Lifting On A Circular Support

Multiple Lines On Round Supports​

​

  • Pipe movement and touchpoint corrosion required direct access inspection and repairs.

​

  • 160 touchpoints across lines ranging in size from 8" to 16".

​

  • Lifting from 8" round or circular supports.

NGL Lines Water Crossing

​

  • Touchpoint corrosion on NGL lines over a water crossing.

​

  • Challenging access and diagonal supports limited traditional methods of lifting.

​

  • Custom engineered solution provided for client on 1 weeks notice.

​

  • Significant cost savings for customer.

Engineered Pipe Lifting Solution
Marine Terminal Pipe Rack Line Lifting

Marine Terminal Shoe Replacement

​

  • Pipe movement and touchpoint corrosion required direct access inspection and repairs.

​

  • 119 touchpoints across lines ranging in size from 8" to 24"

​

  • Challenging access over water.

Liquid Hammer & Damaged Pipe Repair

​

  • Liquid hammer caused significant pipe movement at the expansion loop.

​

  • Damaged pipe shoes removed to install enclosures at two locations.

​

  • Flair line integrity restored, supported by engineering line lifting.

Marine Terminal Line Lifting For TPC Inspection And Repair

Terminal Rack - Delaware, USA

​

  • 568 pipe touchpoints lifted and repaired in 7 weeks.

​

  • Installed new ware pads whilst terminal was active.

​

  • Crew of 5 technicians using 12 Multi Jacks.

Rope Access On 4" Glycol Line

​

  • Uni Jacks utilized at 2nd and 3rd level of pipe rack.

​

  • Eliminated the need for a crane or scaffold at 80 locations.

​

  • Significant cost savings improved safety and increased productivity.

On-Stream Lifting Using Ovolifts Multi-Jack

14" Crude Oil Line

​

  • 183 pipe touchpoints lifted over 6 weeks.

​

  • 17 major findings (wall loss of >50% net wall thickness).

​

  • 10 minor findings (wall loss <50% net wall thickness).

High Pressure Tank Farm

​

  • 1,200 pipe touchpoints serviced within 3 months.

​

  • Wall thickness readings taken at each touchpoint.

​

  • Touchpoints and I-beams sandblasted and re-coated.

​

  • Teflon ware pads installed at all touchpoints.
