Stockholm – Flow Stopping 24″ Main

April 20, 2015

A two kilometre section of the main, which was cast iron at one end and steel at the other, was to be abandoned. The team installed two double-skin FOAMBAGS™ at each end of the section. Once the expanding foam was cured, the main was vented and then purged using Steve Vick International’s new Mini Purge Ejector. It took just 45 minutes to purge the gas from the abandoned main. The team then cut out and capped off the abandoned section.
