FIRST:
LOCATE
The first step in repairing a pipeline leak, is finding it. Tecvalco can provide you with the equipment you need to triangulate the leak’s location.

SECOND:
IDENTIFY
After finding the leak, identifying it’s unique amount of ethane, we can contact the correct pipeline owner about it’s leak.

THIRD:
ACCESS
Next, drilling into the ground will allow access to the leaking pipeline and for the gas to seep out, making it easier to find the exact location of the leak.

FOURTH:
REMOVAL
The VEU is able to work within the area triangulated by the SENSIT devices by sucking up the gas from the saturated area.
This allows us to determine which area refills with gas first, allowing the exact position of the leak to be found.
An integral LEL monitor alarms the operator when dangerous gas concentrations are approached. A bypass valve then allows the operator to configure the VEU as necessary. The VEU was so successful at removing residual gas that different applications were explored.

FIFTH:
STOP IT
To properly repair the leak, it is integral to stop the flow of gas. With the Kleiss Tapping System, we are able to do the repairs without shutting down the entire pipeline.

SIXTH:
REPAIR
While the pipeline flow is clamped off, the repair can finally be achieved with the Citadel DiamondWrap® technology.
DiamondWrap® applications save time, labor and equipment costs. In most cases, there is no plant downtime. Pipes can be wrapped while the line is in service, requiring no line evacuation, no welding of pipe, no need to cut the pipe, no heavy equipment handling requirements and no volatile compounds.
