Hot Tap and Pigging
We perform connections on pipes and lines while they are in operation, without the need to stop the flow or interrupt the production process. With the capacity to handle diameters ranging from ¾” to 56” and systems up to 2,000 psi, we offer safe and efficient solutions for branch connections, cleaning, diagnostics, and integrity inspections on high-demand industrial lines.
HOT TAP
- Hot Tap from ¾” to 56″: Connection to active, pressurized pipelines without interrupting service, adapting to any pipe diameter and operating condition.
- Branches on Active Lines Installation of branch lines and secondary connections on operating pipelines, maintaining continuous flow throughout the entire operation.
- Instrumentation Installation During Operation: Installation of sensors, gauges, and instrumentation accessories on active lines without requiring a plant shutdown.
- Creation of Temporary Bypasses Design and installation of temporary bypasses to maintain flow while maintenance or repair work is being performed on the main line.
- Services for Systems Up to 1,480 psi Work on high-pressure lines using certified equipment and procedures to ensure operational safety at all times.
PIGGING
- Mechanical Cleaning with Pigs Removal of deposits, scale, and accumulated debris from the interior of pipes using pig devices that travel through the line without interrupting the flow.
- Product Separation: Use of pigs to separate different products transported on the same line, preventing cross-contamination during the process.
- Line Drying Removal of moisture and residual liquids from pipes through pigging runs, ensuring optimal operating conditions.
- Integrity Assessment: Evaluation of the internal condition of pipelines using instrumented pigs that detect corrosion, deformation, and wall thinning.
- Runs of up to 100 km Capable of performing pigging operations on pipeline sections of up to 100 kilometers in a single run.
- Operations up to 2,000 psi Pigging services for high-pressure systems using equipment and protocols designed to operate safely under extreme conditions.
