DO YOU KNOW IF YOUR PIPELINE AIR VALVES ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER?

We can help. Often, you won’t know an air valve isn’t working until you need to release it in an emergency situation. SSIREN, our innovative pipeline air valve monitor, removes this risk, helping you to understand valves of concern on your network and to optimise maintenance schedules.

DON’T LET PIPELINES FAIL DUE TO POOR AIR VALVE MANAGEMENT

We understand the importance of all pipeline assets, including air valves, which are often forgotten when it comes to maintenance. With your maintenance teams needing to cover a vast number of assets, air valves are typically undervalued despite them being so important to the continual wellbeing of a pipeline. Under certain conditions, an air valve failure can cause fractures in the pipeline leading to costly repairs and unwanted interruptions in supply.

SSIREN is our innovative air valve monitoring solution, developed to help you optimise your maintenance schedules and identify areas of concern. SSIREN can be fitted to existing assets without need to interrupt supplies or modify existing assets. Additionally, when utilised alongside our existing services we will be able to assist in identifying pipeline sites of concern.

Our solution

Determining whether an air valve is functional from visual inspections alone can prove to be difficult. However, simply removing air valves to be routinely maintained places a heavy burden on already stressed maintenance budgets. SSIREN can help, it is designed to be deployed alongside a visual inspection so that it can verify whether the air valve is functional.

The information gathered by SSIREN can be used to optimise maintenance team schedules. Deploy SSIREN together with our expertise to identify and / or monitor your key air valve assets.

AES deployed SSIREN monitors to a number of air valves along two trunk mains. A comprehensive report was provided following the study to provide us with area of interest for air valve maintenance and operation. We are looking to carry out further studies to fully explore the benefits of this type of equipment.
