HOT TAPPING, LINESTOP & WELDING
HOT TAPPING
Hot Tapping adopts a specific methodology to make a new branch connection for a new product supply from the existing piping or pipeline without ever need to isolate or sectional shutdown of that piping or pipeline system. It is a proven and reliable method of making connections to piping, pipeline or other equipment by attaching a branch fitting to the system, usually by in-service welding method, followed by cutting through the pipe wall at the point of attachment utilizing an appropriate Hot Tapping machine capable to withstand the high pressure and temperature of the product inside the existing piping or pipeline. This operation is generally carried out on a pressurized or in laymen term as a live system without the need for unnecessary decommissioning or interrupting the flow and pressure.
Our local specialist are well-trained, experienced, and wholly-conversant with Hot Tapping operations. We owned various sizes of equipment capabilities from multiple manufacturers to perform any type of Hot Tapping and Completion Plug Setting operation. Our equipment’s capability currently allows us to perform Hot Tapping and Completion Plug Setting operations up to 48” Class 600.
LINE STOPPING
Line Stopping is a part of the Hot Tapping application where it is applied to temporarily block and isolate the product flow in a piping or pipeline section. By employing various methodologies in this application, it is possible to perform such product isolation without the need to cut the product supply of the pipeline downstream of the isolated section. We have the capability to perform up to 16” CL600 Line Stopping operation at the moment with the current capability expansion plan up to 48” CL600 to cater a wider range and bigger application sizes.
IN-SERVICE WELDING
Our experienced In-Service Welding crews are able to respond to any urgent unplanned or planned online welding or welding on a live line operation request in accordance with the API 1104 Annex. B and API 2201 code and standard.
