Project summary
- For over 30 years, Fisher German (FG) has been engaged by Valero Energy and ExxonMobil to inspect and maintain their above- and below-ground infrastructure.
- This work ensures the pipeline network remains in good condition, maintaining pressure and avoiding environmental or health and safety risks. Regular inspections also assess for encroachments on the pipeline network.
Solution
- FG's Line Maintenance Technicians (LMTs) conduct monthly inspections at each asset location to monitor valve and TR conditions, checking for leaks and potential issues.
- Depending on the valve's location (above or below ground), specific maintenance procedures are followed, including confined space assessments for chambers.
- Immediate action is taken for leaks, while weeping valves are referred to the designated maintenance team for swift repairs. FG tailors the inspection service to align with client requirements and daily targets.
Benefits
- This meticulous inspection and maintenance approach increases the longevity of pipeline assets, reduces the risk of environmental and safety incidents, and ensures the infrastructure remains reliable.
- FG's proactive service minimizes hazards, protects client operations, and maintains compliance with safety standards.
