In a region of the country where the words “frozen pipes” are the sounds of terror and panic, it has become the words of stress relief and problem solving for many.
Cryo Tech Pipe Freezing was established in 2017 by owner David Anderson who had a passion to create the safest and most reliable option for pipe freezing.
Since then, Cryo Tech has continuously delivered exceptional service and has been voted the No. 1 pipe freezing specialist of the Northeast.
So what exactly is pipe freezing? Pipe freezing provides temporary isolation in piping systems for repairs or renovations. With the use of liquid nitrogen, combined with custom-made specialty equipment, Cryo Tech is able to safely freeze pipes up to 36 inches in diameter on lines that are full of liquid and have no flow.
Pipe freezing allows repairs and modifications to be made without shutdowns and draining of piping systems. This greatly reduces product loss as well as time and manpower that is needed to complete projects.
When you avoid draining a system for repair, you will also eliminate the issues associated with air entering the system. By minimizing draining, it makes pipe freezing the much more environmentally friendly option.
Cryo Tech works with industrial and commercial facilities daily. They proudly service hospitals, power plants, universities, high rises, stadiums, schools, government buildings, pharmaceutical, manufacturing facilities, and mechanical contractors across the Northeast.
Recently, Cryo Tech completed a project in Providence, R.I., for BOND and National Grid, on a 32-inch cast-iron pipeline that was originally installed in 1910.
With the use of thermal imagining and extensive knowledge, Cryo Tech was safely able to freeze and isolate a section of the pipeline that allowed modifications to be made.
Make sure to come see Cryo Tech in person at the NEBFM19; The Northeast Buildings and Facilities Management Expo taking place on June 12 and 13 at the DCU Center in Worcester, Mass.
Cryo Tech can be located at booth 337 and is excited to meet you and answer any questions. If you can’t make the expo, remember, if you need isolation, don’t stress — call Cryo Tech Pipe Freezing and “chill” out!
