Sail Consulting & Services offers expert hot tapping and line plugging solutions designed to facilitate pipeline modifications while maintaining operational continuity. Hot tapping allows for the installation of new branches or connections to existing pipelines under pressure, eliminating the need for shutdowns.

Hot Tapping

It is the method of making a connection to an existing piping network or pressure vessels without the 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. Hot taps can range from a ½ inch hole designed for something as simple as quality control testing, up to a 48-inch tap for the installation of a variety of ports, valves, T-sections or other pipes.



Line Plugging

It is a means of isolating a piping system to provide a shut off where none exists. This process serves as a control, or temporary valve, that can be removed after permanent alterations or valve replacements/additions have been made. With a hot tap previously made on a line, a line stopper is attached to a temporary valve, and the valve is opened. The line stopper is hydraulically or mechanically pushed into the line to seal the pipe. The main is supported by the line stop sleeve. After performing the necessary service, the stop is removed, and a blind flange is installed on the sleeve.
