Service Hottap
Hot Tapping refers to attaching connections and associated equipment to pipelines while they remain operational and/or under stress, minimizing impact and the potential costly need to shut down existing services.
This means that the pipe or tank can continue to operate while maintenance or modifications are being made to it. This process is also used to drain pressurized casing fluids, add test points or various sensors such as temperature and pressure. Hot Taps can range from inch holes designed for something as simple as quality control testing, to 48 inch taps for the installation of various ports, valves, t-sections or other pipes.
Delivering Safe and Effective Line Stopping
Line Stopping is a means of temporarily stopping flow in an operating pipe. Line Stopping can be used to isolate piping systems for repairs, alteration or relocations all without shutdown or loss of service to the end users.If used in conjunction with bypass lines, product flow can be continued around the isolated section of the one-way feed pipes under repair.
