A vehicle impact caused significant damage to heating pipework in a car park, resulting in a major leak that required an emergency response from Alliance CFM.
Shane and Marcus attended the site to assess the damage and carry out the repair. The affected steel pipework was replaced with a new stainless steel pipe run, restoring the damaged section of the heating system.
Replacing Damaged Steel Heating Pipework with Stainless Steel
The impact had damaged the existing steel heating pipework beyond a straightforward local repair, so the affected section needed to be replaced.
As part of the work, a threading machine was used on site during the preparation and connection of the pipework, with a new stainless steel run installed in place of the damaged section.
Working on site allowed our engineers to complete the required pipework alterations around the existing installation and provide a permanent replacement for the section affected by the vehicle impact.
Commercial Heating Pipework Repairs
Damage to commercial heating pipework can quickly become a significant problem when it causes a major water leak or affects the operation of the wider heating system.
The correct repair depends on the material, location and condition of the existing pipework, as well as the extent of the damage.
In this case, replacing the damaged steel section with stainless steel provided the appropriate solution for the installation.
Alliance CFM undertakes commercial heating and plumbing repairs for businesses and organisations across Berkshire and the surrounding counties, from individual pipework failures to larger heating and plant room projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can steel heating pipework be replaced with stainless steel?
Stainless steel can be used for suitable commercial heating and mechanical pipework applications. Whether it is appropriate depends on the existing system, operating conditions and how the new pipework will be connected to the installation.
What is a pipe threading machine used for?
A pipe threading machine cuts threads into suitable pipework so that threaded fittings and connections can be used. A threading machine was used on site as part of this commercial pipework repair.
Can damaged commercial heating pipework be repaired?
Yes. Depending on the extent and location of the damage, pipework may be repaired locally or the affected section may need to be replaced. The existing material, condition of the system and cause of the damage all influence the appropriate repair.
What should you do if commercial heating pipework develops a major leak?
A major leak should be addressed promptly to limit further water loss and potential damage. The affected system needs to be assessed so the source and extent of the failure can be established before the correct repair is carried out.
