Steel gas mains come in a variety of specifics requiring a slightly different approach for reconditioning. A heightened level of awareness needs to be addressed in these three areas before the lining process begins.
BEM Pipeline Assessment For Railroad Crossing
Assessing ferrous pipe walls provides critical data to determine the condition and integrity of pipelines. When a utility needed to assess a section of a 20 inch cast iron main that runs under a railroad right-of-way, Broadband Electromagnetic Probe (BEM) accurately assessed the condition and the degree of corrosion or graphitization.

CIPL: A Proven Technique for Main Renewal
Bridges to No Repair
In 30 years, I haven’t met a utility that didn’t have pipelines along bridges in their inventory. As bridges age, so do the pipelines. We are all getting older. Over forty percent of the bridges in the US are over fifty years old. In the Northeast, gas pipelines and bridges are typically 75 - 100 years old.
