Project Update 15.09.2024 – Double Double Plugging

On September 15,2024, Xinyu Feihu carried out double double plugging on D323.9 natural gas pipeline with continuous transmission in Wuhan City, Hubei Province.The design pressure of the pipeline was 2.5MPa, the operating pressure of the pipeline during construction was 1.2MPa, and the material of the pipeline was L360.

Project Update 10.09.2024 – Hot Tapping

On September 10, 2024, Xinyu Feihu carried out the project of dn315-SDR17 PE natural gas pipeline hot tapping without shutdown for connecting new dn110 branch pipe in Zhaoqing, Guangdong. The pipeline design pressure was 0.4MPa, and the pipeline operating pressure during construction was 0.28MPa.

Project Update 08.09.2024 – Hot Tapping​

On September 8, 2024, Xinyu Feihu performed hot tapping on the D508 aviation kerosene pipeline to connect the DN400-Class150 valve with pressure ( the tapping cutter’s outer diameter is 350mm)at Guangzhou Baiyun Airport. The pipeline design pressure was Class150, and the operating pressure during construction was less than Class150. The pipeline material was L290.

Xinyu Feihu: Continuous transmission with pressure plugging operation to ensure that the replacement of pipelines without stopping gas

Located at the intersection of Qilin Avenue and Leyigang Road in Pingdingshan City, Henan Province, the D273 high-pressure long distance pipeline is the main pipeline of the city’s gas supply. Because the road surface needs to be reformed, Pingdingshan Gas Co., Ltd. found in the inspection that the pipeline is not deep enough to fill, which seriously affects the road surface transformation work.

Xinyu Feihu: D355 and D273 Steel Pressurized Pipeline Single Plugging

On June 8, 2024, the professional construction team of Xinyu Feihu arrived at the site. After full preparation in the early stage, the 5 operators cooperated in strict accordance with the construction plan, and carried out a series of operating procedures such as pressure welding, hot tapping,
