HOT TAPPING
Metalok360’s Hot Tapping partner was established in 1996 and was the first company to be accredited by the office of Gas Safety (now Energy Safe Victoria) in 1998 to Hot Tap and Stop Off live gas lines.
WHAT IS HOT TAPPING?
Hot Tapping (also known as Wet Taps, Wet Tapping, Live Taps, Live Tapping, Under Pressure Taps, Under Pressure Tapping & UPT) of operating pipelines, is the method of making a connection to existing piping 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.
Applications include attachment of a branch connection to the line, installation of an internal probe or monitor, and to stop or redirect flow in a line for maintenance or repair purposes without shutdown or spillage - thereby allowing our customers to save energy, time and money. In addition, the hot tapping process is safe, simple and easy and environment lay friendly.
We can install Hot Tap connections from 20mm through to 600mm. This means we are able to provide a valve teed into the existing operating pipeline without shutting, draining or stopping the flow in the pipeline.

HOT TAPPING IS GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Hot Tapping is one important way we assist the environment every single time we perform a tapping whether it be at a offshore platform, refinery, multi storey building, a wing of a hospital, a shopping centre, university, school, airport or mine site.
Hot tapping does not waste water or spill contaminants onto the ground, we contain all waste which is disposed of correctly to ensure the environment is protected.
Our Hot Taps is No 1 for Environmentally Sustainable Pipeline Solutions.
