Projects - Pipeline Repair & Improvments

Perliter & Ingalsbe has gotten involved with pipeline repairs, protections, and improvements routinely since the 1950s. Whether the repair work is pre-planned or warranted in emergency by sudden failure/damage of the existing pipelines we have successfully designed required repair work for pipelines up to 84" inches in diameter and with variety of pipeline materials. Pipeline material includes welded steel, pre-stressed, PVC, HDPE, and others.

Types of Repair Work:

Type of repair work varies with many factors including:

Existing pipe material, age, and location
Type and cause of damage/failure damage
Type and availability of replacement material
Allowable construction period
Accessibility to the site
Cost
Temporary or permanent solution
Similar others

Repair work may include:

Partial or complete removal and replacement
Concrete encasement
Sub-grade stabilization/improvements
Pipe structural strengthening
Application of carbon fiber system for structural strengthening of large diameter pipelines where open-cut trench is not feasible
Pipe protective system repairs/improvements
Placement of liners inside pipe
Removal of dirt and placement of lightweight backfill material
Similar others

Typical Engineering Services:

Engnieering services may include the following:

Research, Analysis and Evaluation:

Field inspection and investigation
Review of record data
Forensic analysis
Structural analysis
Geotechnical investigation
Review of results of analysis and evaluations and determining cause and type of damage/failure where feasible
