A self-extracting service module for piping infrastructures comprises a platform on which is mounted equipment for controlling and or monitoring the flow of liquid or gaseous media throughout the piping infrastructures. A first remote-controllable pipe coupling system is interconnected with the equipment inlet and a second pipe coupling system is interconnected to the equipment outlet. The platform is attached to actuators positioned near each corner of the platform. The actuators cooperate with at least one pressure-driven device. The service module is extracted from the piping infrastructure by isolating the equipment from the flow of liquid media after which, the pipe coupling systems are remotely disengaged from the piping infrastructure inlet and outlet. The actuators are operated to move the platform from within the piping infrastructure to a position where service work is easily performed on the equipment without the attendant hazards and constrictions associated with confined spaces.

L~invention concerne un module d~entretien à extraction automatique pour infrastructure de tuyauterie, comprenant une plate-forme sur laquelle est montée un équipement de régulation et/ou de contrôle de l~écoulement d~un milieu liquide ou gazeux traversant l~infrastructure de tuyauterie. Un premier système d~accouplement de tuyaux susceptible d~être commandé à distance est branché sur l~entrée de l~équipement et un deuxième système d~accouplement de tuyaux est branché sur la sortie de l~équipement. La plate-forme est fixée à des actionneurs placés à proximité de chacun de ses côtés. Les actionneurs coopèrent avec au moins un dispositif commandé par pression. On extrait le module d~entretien de l~infrastructure de tuyauterie en isolant l~équipement de l~écoulement du milieu liquide ou gazeux puis en débranchant à distance les systèmes d~accouplement de tuyaux de l~entrée et de la sortie de l~infrastructure de tuyauterie. On met ensuite les actionneurs en marche pour faire sortir la plate-forme de l~infrastructure de tuyauterie et la placer dans une position facilitant les opérations d~entretien sur l~équipement, en éliminant ainsi les dangers et contraintes associés aux espaces confinés.
