本文将不讨论修复大直径管道的所有“螺母和螺栓”方面，但将向主管和/或经理概述规划设备需求、材料需求和准备进行所需修复的程序的想法。在本文中，大直径管道的定义为20英寸到96英寸。希望，当你有一个大直径管道需要维修时，它将是一种可以在需求较低时安排的维修，并与你的时间表一起工作。然而，众所周知，情况并非总是如此；对于那些需要立即关注的突发事件，良好的计划和良好的响应程序变得非常有价值。

This paper will not address all the "nut and bolt" aspects of repairing a large diameter pipe but will give the supervisor and/or manager an overview of ideas for planning equipment needs, material needs, and procedures for preparing to make needed repairs. For the purpose of this paper, Large Diameter Pipe is defined as 20 inch through 96 inch. Hopefully, when you have a large diameter pipe needing repair, it will be the kind of repair that can be scheduled when demand is low and worked in with your schedule. However, as we all know, this is not always the case; it's with the ones that break and need immediate attention where good planning and a good response procedure become very valuable.
