Valve station and tie-in piping

A new valve station at the base of a storage tank. We set and levelled the valves, fitted the spools, welded and bolted the joints, and tied the run into the existing pipe rack.

A storage tank needed a new valve station and a connection into the existing pipe rack.

The valves went on adjustable stands and we levelled them before anything was fixed. We did not tack until the run was straight and the flange faces were parallel.

Stage 02 / 02

Some of the joints are welded, the rest are flanged and bolted. The spools went in between them.
