SPECIALISED PIPELINE SOLUTIONS

HOT TAP / COLD TAP PIPELINE

Hot tap / Cold tap is a method of employing an under-pressured drilling machine to provide a branch off pipeline from existing main pipe. This is done via a coring process on the existing operating pipeline without any interruptions to the flow of medium and system.

Cold tap is used for system that carry flammable medium. Cold tap prevents ignition, especially fuel line..

Hot tapping / Cold tapping pipeline services are also the first procedure in mechanical and inflatable pipeline stops, where the opening on the pipe(coring pipe)allows line stop plug head (mechanical or inflatable) to be inserted.
