en.Wedoany.com Reported - Advanced Valve Technologies (AVT) has completed the installation of an 18-inch EZ Valve at a major international airport on the U.S. West Coast without interrupting essential fire protection services. The project was part of the airport's improvement plan, requiring installation to proceed while maintaining continuous operation of the fire protection pipeline, while also addressing challenges such as a high-security environment and concurrent construction activities.

AVT's local installation partner selected the AVT EZ Valve system, which offers the capability for online installation on large-diameter pipes. The partner had previously completed multiple projects at the same airport, gaining on-site experience, and collaborated with AVT's technical experts to carry out this installation. The EZ Valve can be installed on pressurized pipelines without shutting down the line, ensuring that the fire protection system remains fully operational during construction. After installation, a permanent control point was added to the system, enhancing operational flexibility and future maintenance convenience.

AVT Director Shawn Petty stated that in environments where shutdowns are not feasible, AVT's technology enables simultaneous system upgrades while maintaining operations. It is understood that AVT is part of Henkel's Water and Civil Infrastructure Group, which focuses on addressing global aging infrastructure issues, offering a portfolio of technologies including non-interruptive valve installation, pipe lining and reinforcement, manhole rehabilitation, and coating systems, aimed at extending the lifespan of critical infrastructure and reducing operational disruption risks.
