Pipe Freezing

CRG Plumbing & Maintenance can carry out Pipe Freezing when the need arises to repair pipes that have no means of isolation so repairs can be done. Pipe freezing is highly regarded as the best technique for preparing pipes containing water for repairs, maintenance, and upgrade works.

This method is a cost effective solution which guarantees little to no downtime or interruption to system performance, which eliminates the need to drain pipes, or cut off the water supply. Once the work is completed, the ice plug thaws and the line is fully restored to maximum operation using liquid nitrogen.

When is the best time to use pipe freezing?

  • To perform maintenance and repair works on pipes with non-functional valves
  • When repair works are required on leaking pipes
  • In order to replace valves or flanges in pipes with no zone valves
  • To allow insertion of a branch in pipes with no zone valves
  • Only option for many commercial and industrial applications
