The BISEP is the only hot tap installed double block isolation tool that satisfies the design criteria for DNV Type Approval for Pipeline Isolation Plugs. The design criteria satisfies the requirements for Pipeline Isolation Plugs to provide dual seal and isolation in accordance with Offshore Standards: DNV-OS-F101 (Submarine Pipeline Systems) and recommended Practices: DNV-RP-F113 (Subsea Pipeline Repair) and is code compliant with: ASME BPVC Section VIII, Division 2.
The use of the BISEP provides a high integrity, temporary subsea isolation that offers operators significant benefits by avoiding the need to decommission and then recommission the entire subsea infrastructure.
