Pre-commision pipe pigging

You have a newly constructed piping system here in Florida and you’re ready to put it to work.  Now stop for a moment. Have you had your new system cleaned? It may seem contradictory to think about cleaning a brand new system. That is, until you consider that cleaning new piping;
  • Fits well into the finalizing process of completing a system. The assurances that a system is now capable of functioning properly 
  • Requires minimal costs to perform 
  • Provides a good hydro-static test the first time its applied as the cleaning process will effectively dispel and remove all of the air in a system.
  • Will eliminate the threat of foreign particles causing damage to pump impellers, valve seats, meters and other expensive inline appurtenances.
  • Will resolve potential threats to the proper operation of a system caused by difficult, or wet installation environments, which are prone to the inclusion of undesirable fluids and solids in the piping while being installed.
  • Will effectively remove any foreign matter, tools, debris, garbage, animals, lumber, etc., that can inadvertently find its way into a system during the course of its construction
These are just a few items to consider cleaning or pigging your new pipeline before putting it into service. Florida's sandy soil certainly presents unique challenges to your fresh piping system. Contact professionals, like the ones at Professional Piping Services, Inc to discuss the benefits and your options to help protect the sizable investment you made in new piping.
