  • IFT Shipping Container For Anchorage, AK Job is packed full of linestop equipment.

    Anchorage, Alaska needed a new 42” Valve in their water system but did not want to shut down the consumers. So IFT Wasilla office working with its Southern California office worked together to complete this project before winter could close in.  

  • IFT Shipping container for Anchorage, Alaska job is packed full of Linestop equipment and ready to go!

    Working in Alaska, and outside of the country of the USA, has many challenges. Shipping can be a particularly difficult challenge. All of the fittings and the large tools, that are needed to successfully perform Double 42” Linestop project, are located thousands of miles away. The fittings and tools have to be serviced, counted, fit and have to work properly when they get to a land far away.

  • IFT Shipping container for Anchorage, Alaska job is loaded up on a semi truck and heading to the shipyard.

    Performing large Linestop® projects requires machinery that can safely pick up and load containers weighing over 40,000 pounds. 

  • IFT moving the 40,000 pounds shipping container that is ready for the Anchorage, Alaska Linestop job

    IFT performs Linestop® services through 72”, which requires large loading and moving machinery.

  • IFT Shipping container on loaded onto ship to makes its sea travel to jobsite

    The shipment on this project had to be trucked to Seattle, Washington where it was then loaded onto a ship and transported North, to Alaska. Special container handling trucks in Anchorage placed all of IFT fittings and tools in a safe place so IFT could perform its work.

  • IFT Shipping container makes it to Anchorage, Alaska Jobsite

    Special container handling trucks in Anchorage set IFT fittings and tools in a safe place so IFT can perform its work.  

  • Heading to Anchorage, AK. jobsite with a view of the mountain sides

    Nearing the end of October 2018, the weather was unseasonably warm but winter was just starting to show its white caps on the hills. The snow level seemed to drop daily so it was time to get rolling on the project.

  • Harrison spots a mother bear and 3 cubs on jobsite in Anchorage, Alaska

    On our first day we showed up to the job site and before we could get our safety gear on, “Harrison”, one of IFT lead technicians, noticed he was not in Oklahoma anymore

  • IFT Hangs out with a Mama Bear and her 3 cubs at the jobsite in Anchorage, AK.

    Not one, nor two, nor three but four! A sow with three cubs wanted Harrison's sandwich! Well, we decided to give them some room to pass. Though they were incredibly cute, we knew better than to get any closer.

  • IFT Hangs out with a Mama and her 3 cubs at jobsite in Anchorage, AK.

    The group stayed with us throughout the job without bothering us, and we tried our best to ignore them. Luckily, they found a local restaurant's garbage bin raid so we all did just fine together.

  • IFT also, hangs out with a moose at jobsite in Anchorage AK.

    One thing about Alaska, it really is unique with its moose, bears and wildlife. We love Alaska!!!

  • John Olsen did a great job welding the 42" Linestop fitting and 30" hottap onto concrete cylinder pipe

    The City of Anchorage's waterline for was CMLC (concrete mortar lined and coated) Steel pipe. So, IFT brought in one of its welders from the lower 48 states to weld the fittings on. We managed to dodge the weather, but we pulled tarps over the shoring as needed to keep the welder dry, just in case.

  • 30" Hottap and Linestop temporary valve is ready for work in Anchorage, AK.

    Once IFT Linestop® fittings were installed and the pipe was recoated, a thrust block was poured to support the Linestop® machinery. It also kept the pressure from moving any unseen pipe joints. On most municipal Linestop® projects, IFT uses a knife-gate, these require less room than a typical gate valve.

  • Harrison prepping the 42" Linestop machine lift onto temporary valve

    The valve was hot tapped and the Linestop@ machine was assembled and moved into place.

  • 42" Linestop machine lifted into place onto the temporary valve

    Linestop® machinery can be lifted by cranes and by large excavators. These particular Linestops were left in place long enough for the contractor to replace a 42” valve. Then, the Linestops were removed. 

  • IFT Beat the snow in Anchorage, Alaska and completed the job ahead of schedule!

    IFT repacked our shipping container and, the very next morning, we were really happy we had completed this project. Winter had finally arrived!
