Two ways into a live system without shutting it down: hot tapping and hydraulic crimping. Full containment, zero interruption to operations.

Pressure Tapping

Hot tapping (pressure tapping) lets us connect to a live, pressurized system without shutting it down or depressurizing it - built for wellsite and pipeline applications where continuity is non-negotiable.

  • Hot tapping on pipelines, wellheads, and pressure vessels
  • Installation of monitoring, sampling, or injection points
  • Controlled bleed-off of trapped pressure
  • Fittings installed under pressure with full containment

Hydraulic Crimping

A cold-work technique - no heat, no sparks - that seals, closes, or reshapes tubular components using controlled hydraulic force. Built for classified areas and SIMOPS environments where hot work isn’t an option.

  • Crimping of tubing and small-bore piping for isolation
  • Mechanical closure of leaking or damaged components
  • Controlled deformation for seal creation

Deploy Us When

  • You need to bleed off trapped pressure, take a sample, or install instrumentation without a shutdown
  • A connection or penetration is needed on a live pipeline, wellhead, or pressure vessel
  • A tubular component needs sealing, closing, or reshaping in a classified or SIMOPS environment
Live-system access, fully contained.

Hot tapping and crimping provide controlled ways into live systems while maintaining containment and avoiding operational shutdowns.
