HOT TAPPING SERVICES

Hot tapping is a method of employing an under pressure drilling machine to cut a hole in an operating pipeline or storage vessel which allows for a new branch connection from the existing pipe or vessel without any interruption to the flow. Line stopping is a procedure that temporarily stops flow in a operating a operating pipeline without depressurizing or purging, so that the isolated section of pipe can be repaired, replaced or altered.


Typical Applications of Hot Tapping :

  • Insertion of a new pipe branch in an operational pipeline
  • Insertion of branch when it is costly or time-consuming to drain the pipe contents
