Live Service Isolation

The Live Service Isolation technique provides a safe method of severing a live gas steel service under regulated ‘live’ gas conditions. It is suitable for use on steel services between ¾” to 2” diameter operating at pressures up to 75mbar.

Injector Seal System

The SVI Contract Service use an Injector Seal system to insert sealant into a leaking threaded joint. This system can be used on ¾” to 6” diameter pipework. There is no interruption to supply.

The method is extremely effective and prevents the need for live risers to be replaced, removing the need for consumers to be cut-off gas.
