Professional pipeline connections under pressure without interrupting flow or shutting down your system.
Live Pipeline Connection
PTTS provides specialized hot tapping services, also known as pressure tapping, which allows for a connection to be made to a piping system or vessel while it remains under pressure and in service.
This critical technique eliminates the need for plant shutdowns, draining of pipelines, or loss of production. It is the preferred method for creating new branch connections, installing sensors, or performing maintenance on live systems.
Our experienced team utilizes advanced equipment to ensure safe and precise drilling into pipelines containing water, steam, oil, gas, and various chemicals.
Hot tapping is a precise engineering process that involves welding a fitting, installing a valve, and drilling into a live pipeline under full operating pressure.
Add new branch lines to existing systems without interrupting the flow of media.
Maintain full system pressure throughout the entire connection and drilling process.
Advanced techniques ensure that no debris or shavings enter the live system during drilling.
Applicable to various pipe materials including steel, cast iron, and ductile iron.
Creating new branch outlets on existing pipelines for system expansion.
Installing thermowells, pressure gauges, and flow meters on live lines.
Facilitating bypass connections to allow for pipe section replacement or repair.
Rapid response hot tapping for urgent system modifications and repairs.
Welding a specialized split tee or nozzle to the live pipeline at the tap location.
Installing a permanent sandwich or gate valve on the welded fitting to control flow.
Mounting the hot tapping machine on the valve and performing pressure tests.
Drilling through the live pipe, retracting the cutter, and closing the valve to finalize.
Proven track record of safe hot tapping operations in high-risk environments.
High-precision tapping machines capable of handling various pressures and sizes.
