TCB Industrial has been awarded a check valve replacement scope supporting compressor room safety at an industrial facility in Northern California. Check valves protect compressors and associated piping by preventing reverse flow during abnormal operating conditions or shutdown events.

This award focuses on replacing degraded check valves to restore reliable protection of critical equipment.

Importance of check valves in compressor systems

Compressors operate under dynamic conditions where pressure fluctuations can occur rapidly. Check valves prevent backflow that can damage impellers, bearings, or drive components.

Degraded or improperly functioning check valves increase risk of mechanical failure and unsafe operating conditions.

Execution approach

TCB’s execution begins with coordination to isolate affected systems and verify safe conditions. Existing valves are removed using controlled handling methods to protect adjacent piping and equipment.

Replacement valves are installed with attention to orientation, support, and accessibility for future inspection and maintenance.

Safety and quality control

Utility system work requires verified isolation and careful handling of components. TCB establishes controlled work zones and performs verification checks before returning systems to service.

What this award represents

This project demonstrates TCB’s ability to execute safety-critical mechanical upgrades that protect equipment and support reliable compressor operation.
