HOT TAPPING

This is an engineering procedure used to enable new branch connections to pipeline systems without draining down. We hottap a pipeline via a new branch connection established by either welding or using bolt on tapping saddles depending on pipe material. Drilling is carried out using purpose built drilling machines that can cut holes from 6mm to 300mm diameter on many different pipe materials containing various contents and operating under a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

We tap into mains water, hot water services, plant steam and condense, ammonia, condenser water, natural gas, oils, compressed air, chilled water, pure glycol and others on request.

We have recently developed hot tapping clamps that can be used to tap into existing copper pipework as small as 15mm, this service is proving very popular with hospitals where draining down is a real problem.

PIPEFREEZING

This service involves isolation of a short section of pipeline using liquid nitrogen, this will freeze the contents of the pipe allowing whatever modifications to be carried out without the need to drain entire system, we can freeze from 15mm to 300mm diameter on many different pipe materials including copper, low carbon steel, cast iron, stainless steel.

We can freeze  water with glycol and inhibitors present, pure glycol, chw, lphw, calcium brines, heat transfer fluids, molasses, potable water, effluents, seawater, hydraulic oils, deionised water, heavy and light fuel oils, boiler feed water and others on request.

POCKET INSERTION

We can install temperature pockets under live conditions and some probe type flow meters , sensors , this allows clients to intergrate same to their BMS systems to gain efficiencies. This service is proving very popular with energy consultants and facility managers. Hot tapping can also be utilised to take a physical sample of pipework to determine wear and tear and also the effectiviness of anti corrosion treatments.

Significant benefits have been achieved by using these techniques, preventing draining of treated water or product to maintaining of building services without interruption to cooling water or hot water supplies, heating supplies, compressed air and natural gas, firemain services. These applications allow for modifications to plant at any time during production thus opening up opportunities for upgrades outside planned shutdown periods.
