At Ridge Runner, we understand dewatering is one of the most dangerous phases of pipeline commissioning, especially in mountainous terrain. It's crucial to carefully manage back pressure and keep a steady water column as we remove the test medium from the pipeline. If back pressure isn't properly maintained, the air-water mixture can surge, potentially causing hoses or piping to detach, leading to equipment failure, injuries, or airlocks in the pipeline.

To ensure maximum safety, we thoroughly review and discuss the required procedures for each specific pipeline dewatering project. Our aim is to execute every dewatering process as safely and precisely as possible.
