Cold-weather operations
Cold-Weather Pump Preparation in Alaska
Drain and isolate any equipment that will sit idle through winter. Water left in a casing will crack it.
Check heat tracing and insulation before you need them, and confirm that seal flush and lubrication systems are rated for the temperatures the site actually sees.
Cold-weather startup is harder on equipment than steady operation. Warm-up procedures, correct lubricant viscosity and slow, verified starts prevent a lot of spring rebuilds.
Tell us what failed, and we'll tell you what it takes.
Send equipment details, nameplate photos and site information — or call the office to talk it through with someone who works on this equipment.
