From Vermont to Virginia, the team at Kerr is constantly on the road working with gas utilities and companies to ensure safe and efficient pipeline repair and maintenance.
Increasingly, gas utilities are investing in equipment such as the TDW POLYSTOPP® Quick Connect system. The POLYSTOPP® Quick Connect system makes it easy to safely perform hot tapping, plugging and branching on polyethylene (PE) pipelines. The lightweight design allows operators to isolate a polyethylene (PE) line twice as fast as other methods while preventing the damage associated with squeezing.
Recent product demonstrations have highlighted how to operate the equipment properly.

Tie-In Solution for Pigging-Compatible Natural Gas Pipelines
An elegant tie-in solution was necessary for maintaining the piggability of main pipelines. Two 12-inch natural gas lines needed to be connected to a new well site near Pittsburgh. An innovative solution was used with TDW fittings and pig guide bars.

Project Overview
A new natural gas well was being completed near Pittsburgh, necessitating the connection of two 12-inch lines from the well site to two 12-inch main lines. The 12-inch main lines needed to remain piggable.
Design & IMPLEMENTATION
To meet these requirements, an innovative solution using TDW 12-inch x 12-inch 600 class 3-WAY™ Tee Fittings with LOCK-O-RING® and pig guide bars was used. The LOCK-O-RING® completion plug features an interlock system that helps eliminate potential leak paths and ensures proper seating. The implementation process included:
Fitting Installation: The 3-WAY™ Tee Fittings were welded onto the 12-inch main lines.
Pipeline Connection: The 12-inch pipes with valves were welded to the 12-inch outlets on the fittings.
Hot Tapping: TDW service technicians performed two 12-inch Hot Taps.
Completion Plug Setting: The completion plugs with pig guide bars were set into the fittings by the TDW service technicians.

This approach allowed for the seamless integration of the new well site while maintaining the piggability of the main lines. By utilizing TDW's advanced fitting and plug technology, the tie-in solution not only met the immediate operational needs but also provided long-term reliability and safety for the pipeline system.
