Pipeline Construction

Still lots of activity at the pipeline valve site on our property. The crew is cleaning the "Pig Launcher" after it received a cleaning "pig" to remove scale and rust from the 20 inch pipeline.


The cleaning "pig" that was send through the pipeline.



Loading a foam "pig" into the launcher.



Workers check and adjust the pressure in the pipeline to push the "pig".



A worker releases pressure from the pipeline. A light blue stream of compressed air can be seen venting from the top of the pipe.



Workers torque the bolts on a flange.
