We are happy to introduce new Service "Hot Tapping" in our line. Tritorc hot tapping service enables a connection to be made to a piping system or a vessel without shutdown or interruption to production. Isolation of a piping system is achieved by introducing a plugging head into the pipe bore through the tap created. All the hardware is designed and manufactured in accordance with the applicable design codes. All welding procedures conform with API standards.

Our equipment is designed and tested to withstand the required operating pressures, temperatures, and harsh working environment, rated up to 1,450 psi and 400°C.

A comprehensive hot tapping package is available including a survey of the customer's site to determine the most efficient solution required.

Hot tapping up to 84"

Line stopping up to 66"

Onshore or offshore; topside or subsea Inflatable gas bag isolation up to 60"

Highly skilled and experienced service engineers can apply a variety of different procedures to provide the most cost-efficient solution to suit the customer's individual requirements.

Our equipment is capable of performing hot taps into a wide variety of products such as hydrocarbons, natural gas, water, steam, and heavy oil among others.

Hot Tapping or Online drilling is the specialized engineering method of connecting a new branch pipeline to the existing piping system, pressure vessels, storage tanks or any other process equipment without the need of shut down / production interruption.

This method employs a Tapping Machine, a Full bore valve (typically known as a hot tapping valve) and a Hot tap Fitting (Weld o let/Stub with RF Pad/Full Encirclement Split Tee) that is either welded or bolted to the run pipeline.

Hot Taps can be performed safely on most types of pipes, ranging from carbon steel to GRE.

The Services can be carried out on systems containing oil, gas, fuel, steam, water and many other line mediums with pressures up to 1480 PSIG @ 100?.

Tritorc services are performed in line with relevant industry standards - API and Shell DEP specifications

Line Stopping Services

Line stopping is an interventional technique used to temporary isolate a section of the pipeline, with a mechanical inserted and activated stopple head, to undertake maintenance activity or repair works on downstream pipeline. Line stops can be performed with permanent/temporary bypass to enable continuous production while the pipeline section is isolated.

This solution prevents unwanted shutdowns and keeps critical piping and pipeline systems online during tie-ins, relocations, repairs, retrofits, and routine maintenance

Line Stopping can be performed on various piping materials and for a variety of media such as gas, oil, water, steam, process piping & sewage etc.
