What Is Hot Tapping?
Hot Tapping uses a special drilling machine to cut a hole in a live pipeline.
Typical Applications
- Addition of a new branch connection
- Product sampling point
- Draining of pipelines
What Is Line Stopping?
Line Stopping, stops the flow in a live operating pipeline and redirects it into a bypass loop. This allows repairs on problematic sections while the flow continues in the line.
The above is done together with hot tapping.
