T.D. Williamson launches SHiiELD™ double independent isolation and bleed system

TULSA, Okla., Jan. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — T.D. Williamson (TDW), a global leader in pipeline solutions, announced the launch of TDW SHiiELD™, a next-generation pipeline isolation tool creating a new standard of double independent isolation and bleed (DiiB).

T.D. Williamson launches TDW SHiiELD™ a pipeline tool setting a new standard for double independent isolation and bleed.

Industry-first pipeline isolation solution

SHiiELD technology delivers leak-proof performance, uncompromising safety, and four times the throughput area of traditional double block-and-bleed solutions while protecting the environment from fugitive emissions and reducing operational downtime.

Engineered with two independently anchored modules and energized seals, SHiiELD provides a redundant isolation system that exceeds evolving safety and environmental standards. By achieving a certified, leak-proof seal and enabling remote activation and monitoring, SHiiELD minimizes operational risk, enhances pipeline efficiency, and ensures zero-emission isolation projects.

Watch the SHiiELD™ video at tdw.red/SHiiELD to get up to speed on what the system delivers.

Driving efficiency, safety, and environmental responsibility

“SHiiELD is changing the game of how operators isolate pipelines while meeting their emissions and safety goals,” said TDW Chief Executive Officer Bob McGrew. “By combining true redundancy with best-in-class throughput and remote activation, SHiiELD ensures the safest possible isolation for personnel and the environment. This innovative technology underscores TDW’s commitment to advancing pipeline safety and operational efficiency.”

With SHiiELD, TDW continues to drive the pipeline industry forward with advanced technologies that meet the market’s demand for higher safety, reliability, environmental responsibility, and throughput. Read our blog to learn how DiiB technology works.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
