STATS provide high quality solutions to ensure that the pipework and pipeline infrastructure of our clients meet the technical, safety and environmental standards required.
STATS Hot and Cold Tapping services allow a branch connection to be made into piping or vessels while the system remains live and under working pressure, allowing continuous system operation and avoiding unplanned shutdowns and service interruptions. STATS provide a safe and cost effective solution to allow efficient tie-ins for repair or modification purposes while under full operating conditions, therefore reducing plant downtime.
STATS provide a full range of ‘industry best in class’ equipment and can provide a turnkey packaged approach from clamp or tee installation through to isolation of line content, inclusive of slab valve and completion flange provision. STATS will undertake system engineering analysis and project engineering as part of this service. A comprehensive service package is available to support Hot Tapping operations from ½” to 36”, alternative sizes available upon request.
Once Hot Tapping is complete STATS can provide a verified double block and bleed isolation through a single penetration. The BISEP™ with dual compression seals and annular bleed provides a high integrity dual seal isolation allowing repair or modification work to safely take place. This single entry point isolation technique significantly reduces operator costs and timescales.
