Subsea Hot Tapping

Subsea Hot Tapping is the method of making a connection to an existing pipeline while it remains operating and under pressure. The installation of a mechanical hot tap clamp provides a branch or off-take allowing connection to be made to a subsea pipeline safely, without interrupting or depressurising the pipeline.
