Hot Tapping


Hot Tapping


alternative text One of the area where we have developed strong expertise is hot tapping. We provide complete solution for hot tapping including arranging the hot tap / stopple fitting (split tee type with Lock O Ring Plug), Welding the fitting on to the live pipelines and carrying put perforation.

We work on both piggable pipelines and non piggable piping. We work with stringent API and Shell DEP standards. We will prepare a design package for each hot tap connection that will detail the calculations to determine the minimum wall thickness required, line pressure / flow rate required at the time of Welding and perforation.

We have the necessary Welding Procedures which are pre-qualified under stringent simulating conditions suitable for welding on live pipelines. Also the welders are specially trained and certified for welding of the hot tap fittings on live pipelines.
