IMV Projects is recognized for our experience and track-record of technical innovations in pipeline engineering. IMV Projects recently engineered and installed the world’s first 32” NPS steam pipeline (CSA GR 550 DSAW; 813 mm OD x 17.5 mm WT; 11 MPa @ 344°C; 8500 m long) and the industry’s first 24” NPS steam distribution pipeline (CSA GR 550 DSAW; 610mm OD x 25.4mm WT; 17.2 MPa @ 354°C; 17000 m long). Another recent achievement for IMV Projects was the successful design and installation of a high temperature 24” boiler feed-water pipeline, operating at 105°C, engineered to be built and installed in-ground at 20°C yet still accommodating its associated expansion at operating temperature without overstressing the pipe. Based on this success, we are currently working with vendors to install buried pipelines operating at 150°C.

Our Pipeline Engineering Group is also well-versed in pipelining in difficult environments, including areas of close to 100% muskeg and areas with both continuous and discontinuous permafrost. We also have extensive experience in the installation of tight-liners and free-standing plastic and composite liners in existing pipelines for remediation and corrosion inhibition, horizontal directional drilling (HDD) and pipelining in mountainous terrain and environmentally sensitive regions. IMV Projects and IMV Projects Atlantic have also carried out onshore conceptual pipeline work and cost estimating for the Canadian Arctic and Alaska.
