When you need to access a pressurized system — whether to bleed off trapped pressure, take a sample, install instrumentation, or create a controlled penetration — pressure tapping and hydraulic crimping provide safe, engineered solutions.
Pressure Tapping
Hot tapping (pressure tapping) allows a connection to be made to a live, pressurized system without shutting down or depressurizing. Our equipment and procedures are designed for wellsite and pipeline applications where system continuity is critical.
- 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
Hydraulic crimping provides a mechanical method of sealing, closing, or reshaping tubular components using controlled hydraulic force. It's a cold-work technique — no heat, no sparks — suitable for classified areas and SIMOPS environments.
- Crimping of tubing and small-bore piping for isolation
- Mechanical closure of leaking or damaged components
- Controlled deformation for seal creation
