Hot Tapping Service

Hot tapping or pressure tapping, is the method of making a connection to existing piping or pressure vessels without interrupting or emptying of that section of pipe or vessel. This means that a pipe or tank can continue to be in operation whilst maintenance or modifications are being done to it. The process is also used to drain off pressurized casing fluids and add test points or various sensors such as temperature and pressure.
