PLIDCO: The Industry's First Pipeline Repair Products
The
Pipe Line Development Company, or PLIDCO®, is a United States, family
owned business, founded in 1949 by Joseph B. and Berneice K. Smith. PLIDCO®
manufactures pipe line repair and maintenance fittings and holds many
patents throughout the world with hundreds of thousands of fittings sold.
The factory has 56,000 square feet of office and lab space, and employs
80 people. The factory has all of the standard fabrication and machine
tools plus special equipment required to completely manufacture standard
and special fittings.
PLIDCO® fittings have been used worldwide for pipeline repair and maintenance,
in a wide variety of applications, both onshore and offshore. Applications include
oil, gas, water, chemical, steam, slurry and other piping systems. PLIDCO® fittings
are designed and manufactured following the applicable codes, and a strict Quality
Control program. These proven products have enabled customers to avoid or minimize
costly and dangerous shutdowns, saving risk, time, and money. All products are
designed to quickly and safely repair pipelines, most without shutdown; all to
keep downtime to a minimum. PLIDCO® products can be backwelded with the line in
operation, or bolted-only for weld-hazardous or weld-difficult areas. Factory
trained technicians are available to assist you with difficult installations
or with measurements for special designs.
PLIDCO® products have been designed for pressure up to 10,000 psi and temperatures
from -250° F to 1100° F. An inventory of standard products in API pipe size,
1-1/2" through 48" and pressures up to 2000 psi are stocked. Since your piping
problems cannot wait, PLIDCO® factory technicians are on call 24 hours a day,
seven days a week to provide you with solutions and technical assistance. |
