WSG are pleased to introduce innovative Leak Detection and Repair Services – LDAR

WSG are further growing their offering as a Leak Detection and Repair specialist (LDAR) with the addition of WSG Enviro to the WSG Group.

WSG already have an extensive track record as a leak detection and repair specialist, supplying services from the existing core business lines within WSG, such as nitrogen helium leak detection, flange management, onsite machining and WSG’s valve service and repair business, WSG Provalve.

With the inclusion of WSG Enviro’s market leading optical gas imagery, WSG can now offer clients the unique opportunity to assess and inspect their assets up front of planned maintenance, or at agreed inspection intervals, to include any necessary repair work identified at the next scheduled maintenance interval.

Emerging regulatory requirements around fugitive emissions mean asset owners can partner with WSG to quantify and report emissions to atmosphere and meet and exceed regulatory requirements. Adoption of this upfront asset inspection and assessment will provide the plant owner with real time data on the integrity of their plant, simultaneously reducing downtime on their assets by efficient scheduling of repair works for leaks detected.

WSG OGI cameras, which are the world’s most sensitive OGI camera, not only identify leak points, but also quantification of leakage within bespoke software, this allows customers to determine criticality of the leaks reported for remedial work at client discretion. The cameras are certified to EPA regulations and are ATEX and UL certified for operation in hazardous environments and WSG can provide a wide and ranging inspection service complimented with a final leak report tailored to customer requirements.

WSG introduces Leak Detection and Repair Service

WSG capabilities are further supported by their in-house and specialist valve service and repair business, WSG Provalve. WSG Provalve offer state of the art testing, machining and ball grinding equipment, aimed at servicing high integrity pipeline valves, in particular ball valves, large bore isolation valves, control valves and safety relief. Coupling both the WSG Joint integrity and flange management services with WSG Provalve, WSG are able to offer bespoke solutions for leak remediation works identified during the Leak Detection campaign.

WSG Asset Integrity Management (AIM) Software further supports the service with an integrated and comprehensive software solution for management and record keeping of all WSG work fronts, including leak identification and reporting, onsite flange management and valve service and repair, offering a true Blind to Blind solution.

WSG also recognise the importance of verifying the leak repair implemented has been successful, ensuring the client has peace of mind when they successfully restart their asset and eliminating potential future downtime.

To do so WSG are able to offer a secondary leak test, either by reuse of the primary optical gas imaging camera or by implementation of specialised pressure testing. WSG are able to offer a wide range of pressure testing services from within the core WSG business, ranging from hydrostatic, pneumatic or nitrogen and helium leak detection. WSG industry specialists would work with the client to select the most suitable application to suit the asset characteristics and operation.
