Don't Let Water Pipeline Infrastructure Stop Production

Echologics has provided proactive asset management and emergency response water pipeline inspection solutions to some of the largest chemical refineries in North America. From pinpointing a leak on a critical water supply line, to working with a facility engineering team to determine the remaining structure strength of buried water pipes to better understand the scope of work required during maintenance shut-downs. Echologics' technology is ideally suited for chemical refinery projects as a minimal amount of field equipment is required, and inspections can be quickly completed on both small and large diameter water pipes with no disruption to operations. Our highly trained engineers understand the unique requirements for security, health and safety and environmental protection.

Typical Applications

Regulatory compliance reporting
Capital improvement plan optimization
Fire line inspection
Leak location on a process line
Cooling water supply line inspection
Inspection and monitoring of water supply line to the facility

Solutions

Leak detection: Highly trained Echologics field engineers can be quickly mobilized to identify a leak on virtually any material or diameter of water pipe. The service can be applied to a single pipe section or a larger facility network.

Permanent Leak Monitoring: For critical water supply lines either feeding the facility or under heavy truck roadways, Echologics can install a permanent leak detection system that can immediately notify the engineering department in the event that a leak forms.

Pipeline Condition Assessment: Buried pipe infrastructure can be inspected and graded for remaining structural strength to assist engineering teams in determining the timing, priority and duration of maintenance.

Projects

Industrial Fire Protection Line Inspection
In Houston, Texas a large industrial facility was plagued by a water leak in its fire protection system. Approximately 50 gallons of water per minute was being lost from the high-pressure line and flooding sections of roadway at the facility. Despite the best efforts of facility staff to locate the leak — including digging a 30-foot trench in the suspected location of the leak — operations staff were unsuccessful in pinpointing the source. The facility owner engaged Echologics to locate the leak before the plant was faced a possible shutdown due to the leak. Echologics field engineers inspected several sections of the cast iron main ranging in size from 12" to 16" and found the leak in just three hours. Based on this rapid result, Echologics was contracted to inspect the remaining fire protection lines at the facility.
