Corroding Pipe Replacement

The Project

Pipers Mechanical was asked to replace the system piping for a client's chemical process. Due to the product's corrosive nature and required temperature, the system required remediation on an almost annual basis.

Rather than simply replacing the piping with more stainless steel piping, Pipers Mechanical researched several material options that would adequately handle the critical process without premature failure. Pipers Mechanical worked within the client’s budget and found a suitable replacement material that would not corrode.

Why Pipers Mechanical

Pipers Mechanical was the perfect choice for this project because of the company's:

  • Focus on the Customer

    Pipers Mechanical could have replaced the pipe with piping made from the same materials. However, given the company's emphasis on finding the best solution for its clients, Pipers Mechanical staff worked to solve the underlying problem of corrosion rather than simply repeating what had been done to address the issue in the past.

  • Project Analysis Skills

    Pipers Mechanical provided the client with a full cost / benefit analysis of the labor and materials costs involved in replacing the existing piping with the new materials. This analysis enabled the client to determine whether the new materials would provide an adequate return on investment before beginning the project.
