THE LEADING CHOICE
IN HOT TAPPING SERVICES

It is cost effect but every task will need to be reviewed to get an actual cost

Hot taps can be installed in the vertical, horizontal, or at any angle around the pipe as long as there is sufficient room to install the valve, fitting, and tapping machine, the installation exercise can vary in time due to what size hot tap will be undertaken.

Hot Tapping is the ability to safely tap into a pressurised system, by drilling or cutting, while the pipeline is live and under pressure.

The hot tap procedure involves attaching a branch connection and valve on the outside of an operating pipeline, and then cutting out the pipe-line wall within the branch and removing the wall section through the valve

Hot Tapping is a source of pressure tapping, it is a method of making a connection to an existing pipe without the interruption or emptying of that section of pipe. This means that a pipe can continue to be in full operation whilst maintenance or modifications are being done to it.

Hot tapping by my definition is welding onto and cutting into a live line while it remains in service. Cold tapping is joining into a line taken out of service.

When a pipeline is in full operation and under pressure.

Hot Tap should be avoided on existing weld joints. The location should be chosen in such a way that Hot Tap welding does not interfere with the existing weld joints.

Access to pipe to perform hottap, the existing pipe location to be free from weld joint and the machine must be able to work under the operating conditions such as temperature and pressure.
