Thermal insulation solutions for underground piping and equipment operating at below ambient temperatures.
Underground pipes are often used for the transportation of products for energy purposes, which include natural gas, biofuels, and liquid petroleum. These piping networks are used to transport gas or liquids from stationary facilities such as production wells or import/export facilities, and deliver to a variety of locations or directly to other export facilities.
Direct burial of these piping networks has many advantages. These include space considerations, fire safety and protection from the elements. However, unless installed and maintained properly, underground pipes can have the potential for many hazards.
Possible leaks or damages to the pipes can exist undetected for years and cause severe consequences in terms of safety and pollution.
