  3. In-Line Replacement of Gate Valve Seats
In-line replacement of gate valve seatsAs power plants look to reduce maintenance costs, the replacement of seat rings on gate valves is becoming economically more and more attractive. Technological advances in robotics, 3D computerized simulation, machine welding processes and specialized machine tooling have turned what was once considered science fiction into reality. Velan has recently partnered with Global Field Services for a series of in-line seat replacements for nuclear power plant valves, successfully employing techniques that shortened repair times and reduced repair costs.
