Force main inspections are imperative to ensuring the integrity and remaining useful life of the pipeline. Many municipalities we speak with are not aware of the alternatives to CCTV inspections that are currently available in the market place. One such tool is the SmartFoam from i2i Pipelines. This is the tool of choice for companies like Chevron, BP and Exxon, when inspecting their pipelines on a regular basis.
American Pipeline Solutions partnered with i2i to bring this inspection technology to the water and wastewater industry and we have had tremendous success, such as with this force main in Arizona. #pipelinemanagement#pigging#smartfoam
The Xgard range manufactured by Crowcon Detection Instruments Ltd. is a comprehensive selection of fixed point gas detectors that meet the diverse requirements for gas detection in industries throughout the world. This includes many water treatment, oil and gas, power, research facility and manufacturing installations.
Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) or Flameproof (Exd) versions are available, with case options comprising high-grade alloy, stainless steel or chemically resistant GRN polymer. Certifications include IECEx, ATEX, UL and GOST-R.
● Designed for easy installation and maintenance – keeps costs down.
● Three junction box options – designed to make replacement of sensors and sinters extremely simple (Spare sensors simply plug-in).
● Many spare parts are common to all Xgard models (keeps spares holding requirements to a minimum).
● Designed for either wall or ceiling mounting (no need for additional brackets).
● Can accommodate M20, 1/2″ NPT or 3/4″ NPT cable glands (suits all site requirements).
● High temperature models are available for hot environments (up to 150oc).
● Accessories are available for duct mounting and sampling applications as well as remote gassing (simple sensor checking).
● Poison resistant pellistors, for all flammable detection needs including hydrocarbons, hydrogen, ammonia, jet fuel, leaded petrol and vapours containing halogens.
● Electrochemical sensors are used to detect a vast range of toxic gases and oxygen.
● Thermal conductivity sensors are available to monitor % volume concentrations of gases.
● Manufactured using a choice of three materials: glass reinforced nylon, highly durable aluminium with a tough polyester coating, or 316 stainless steel for ultimate corrosion resistance (designed to operate even in the harshest environments).
● Spray deflectors and weatherproof caps are available for use in areas subject to regular wash-downs, or offshore environments.
● All models have been validated to the functional safety standard IEC 61508 (SIL 1 to SIL 3).

Our award-winning spacer has been the subject of a number of recent discussions. This spacer was developed by Andy Fraser, MD of FT Gas Control Systems Ltd, for Cadent, with guidance from ROSEN (UK) and made in the USA by our spacer partners, APS. It is an encirclement band with wheeled ramps, for fitting onto PE pipe in order for it to be inserted into an existing cast iron host pipe without the need to remove Weko seals from socket and spigot joints; the spacer rolls over the seals and brackets holding them in place. The benefits of this spacer are many fold, including dispensing with the need for specialist operatives to enter the pipes to remove the Weko seals, and reducing the requirement to excavate/reinstate trenches, thus minimising costs and traffic disruption.

Exciting news for the oil and gas industry! SwellFrac introduces groundbreaking technology with its proprietary swelling capabilities, expanding volumes by up to 400% of their original mass.
This innovative solution is not only efficient but also versatile. Whether used to create impermeable permanent plugs for refrac operations in perforation tunnel cavities or to address mechanical integrity issues by forming plugs in the casing annulus, SwellFrac proves to be a game-changer.
Moreover, SwellFrac's adaptability shines through as it can be injected into inoperable Frac sleeves, enhancing zonal isolation for refrac operations. The applications extend further to isolating and shutting off high water flow intervals, showcasing the solution's multifaceted benefits.
To visualize the impressive transformation, check out the attached photo displaying a SwellFrac test coupon, highlighting the significant size difference pre and post swelling under rigorous testing conditions.

We're excited to exhibit for the first time at this year's Utility Week Live at Birmingham’s NEC Arena, on the 21st & 22nd May.
Stop by our stand D22 and learn why we’re global market leaders in hot tapping, line stopping and isolation pigging. Get up close with our game changing equipment and hear all about the exciting projects we’ve been doing for the gas networks onshore in the UK.
✅ Do you want to enable isolation projects previously thought impossible due to tight space or inclined pipe?
✅ Do you want leak-tight isolations and reduced P9 welding and under pressure drilling operations to improve safety? ✅ If so, our BISEP line stopping tool can help to improve safety and save cost!
As we transition to hydrogen and the path to net zero, STATS’ leak-tight temporary isolation tools that improve safety and reduce emissions are more important than ever.
We look forward to seeing you there!
