At Flow Control Solutions, we specialize in delivering safe, efficient pipeline solutions that minimize downtime and keep critical infrastructure operating. Our team recently completed a 12-inch indoor line stopping project, demonstrating our ability to isolate pressurized pipelines and perform essential maintenance without disrupting water service. This project highlights our expertise in live pipeline work and our commitment to completing complex jobs safely, efficiently, and with minimal impact on operations.

What is Line Stopping?

Line stopping, sometimes referred to as line plugging, is a specialized technique used to temporarily isolate a section of a pressurized pipeline while the rest of the system remains in operation. The temporary line stop acts much like a removable valve, allowing maintenance, repairs, or system modifications to be completed safely without requiring a full pipeline shutdown. Once the work is finished, the line stopping equipment is removed, and normal pipeline operation is restored.

Common Uses of Line Stopping

Line stopping is an effective solution for a wide range of pipeline maintenance and infrastructure projects, including:

Pipeline relocations and rerouting
Replacement of damaged or aging valves
Permanent isolation or abandonment of pipeline sections
Installation of temporary bypass systems
Integration of new process equipment
Pipeline testing and system evaluations
Leak isolation and repair work

Flow Control Solutions offers customized line stopping solutions designed to meet the unique requirements of each project. Whether a job requires a single line stop, double isolation, or a triple line stop with a temporary bypass, our experienced team has the expertise and specialized equipment to complete the work safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption to operations.
