Live Valve Insertions
Valve Insertion is a cutting-edge technique that allows for the installation of a gate valve directly into an existing pressurized water or wastewater main—without shutting down the system or interrupting flow. This “live” installation approach eliminates the need for costly service disruptions, drainage, or contamination risks.
