After long days and late nights, TEAM successfully completed an emergency 14" 600 # linestop on a 1200 psi ethane line in the Minden, Louisiana area.
The job included a 14" linestop tap, a 2" equalization tap and, because there was no flow in the line, running a magnet to the bottom of the pipe to retrieve shavings from the 14" tap.
From there, we set a single 14" linestop and achieved a 100% seal, allowing our client to safely work downstream. That made it possible for them to replace a faulty 14" valve that had been in place since the 1950s with a new valve assembly, safely and on schedule.
TEAM was able to respond to the customer’s emergency callout within 24 hours and help keep critical work moving. For emergency or routine hot tap, linestop and welding services, TEAM is ready.
Thank you to Johnny Estrada and Nick Herzog for leading this project to success.
