We are a proven global solution for on-stream pipe inspection and remediation programs.
Ovolifts has a unique and patented technology developed in conjunction with the petrochemical industry to provide safe access to multiple pipe touchpoints in live environments.
Rope access inspectors utilized Ovolifts pipe rack jacks to access a 4” line for direct assessment inspections at pipe supports for touchpoint corrosion.
Deploying Ovolifts technology over the two-month project eliminated the need for scaffolding and cranes, saving the end client over $500,000.
Our pipe lifting systems enable inspection and corrosion prevention maintenance on multiple pipe touchpoints whilst the lines are on-stream and averts costly plant shutdowns or extended turnarounds.
Remote Lifting: Lifting is done remotely using a hydraulic allowing personnel to stand at a safe distance.
Lift Multiple Pipes: Lift any number of lines on a pipe rack in a single lifting operation.
Lift From The Supports: No clearance is required beneath the supports, which are replacing traditional pipe rack jacks.
Static Structure: Eliminates suspended loads by positively restricting the jack's stroke.
Increases Productivity: Lift multiple lines on a pipe rack and gain access to multiple pipe touchpoints.
Improves Safety: Plant safety is improved by eliminating hazards and implementing safety measures.
Eliminates Cranes: Cranes are costly, have a large operating footprint and introduce safety hazards.
Defers Shutdowns: Our pipe jacks are proven safe to use on pipes which are in-service.
Ovolifts' unique and patented technology allows access to multiple work areas whilst the equipment is on-stream, giving plant engineers and contractors critical information on pipe conditions and access to perform maintenance.
Why is this so valuable? Because it enables a plant to advance its pipe and cable rack maintenance programs from reactive to planned footings.
Reactive maintenance pushes aside planned maintenance and often results in emergency work outside of plant turnarounds. It is also costlier because emergency repairs are difficult to diagnose, budget and execute, whereas planned maintenance tasks are less work intensive.
Ovolifts has a centralized engineering support team that allows us to serve our clients globally with consistency while maintaining the highest safety standards in the industry.
An engineered approach to line lifting is the core of our methodology to ensure pipeline integrity.
Leveraging our years of experience of on-stream lifting, our engineering staff work together with our clients and partners to determine the most effective approach for successfully completing a project.
Many of our projects can consist of hundreds of touchpoints on a pipe rack which are lifted over the course of weeks and months, with up to 20 touchpoints or more elevated at any given time. Other projects may only involve only a single touchpoint but require lifting from multiple adjacent supports to ensure the line stays within defined stress limits.
All projects require comprehensive planning to coordinate equipment and personnel with our goal to support our customers on a path to success by providing Lift Plans, Pipe Stress Analyses and custom engineering services when required.
A Lift Plan is an engineered document defining the lifting configuration and lifting curves taking into account actual site conditions and may be supported by a Pipe Stress Analysis in projects where line integrity is a concern during lifting.
A Pipe Stress Analysis is a flexibility review of a line that determines fitness for lifting. It takes into account the pipe design and operating conditions while also considering the lifting heights required. Greater lifting heights add additional stress to the line making this an important consideration in cases where line integrity is already compromised.
We also provide other engineering services such as designing custom attachments and landing brackets for all types of unique lifting scenarios.
Ovolifts Now delivers the skills and knowledge for planning, coordinating, scheduling, directing, controlling, monitoring and evaluating your lift to ensure that all objectives of the project are achieved, keeping your project on time, on budget and with unsurpassed quality.
Our knowledgeable support team has the ability to serve our clients at every stage of a project from planning through completion.
Our years of experience supporting contractors with on-stream line lifting has provided us with a wealth of knowledge and experience that has positioned us as industry experts in the field of engineered line lifting.
We have experienced staff capable of supporting contractors and their customers with the following:
