Furmanite IPSCOSpecialist Hot Tappingand Line Stoppingtechniquescost effective pipeline modificationand repair without the need forshutdown

Hot TappingHot Tapping is a specialist technique employed by Furmanite IPSCO for making a connection to piping or vessels while the system is operating under pressure. Our vast experiencein pipeline intervention techniques, our trained and skilled work force, considerable inventory and our global reach makes us the prime technical resource for pipeline modificationand repair under high pressure, large diameter or subsea. Industries where our expertisehas been successfully deployed include oil exploration and production (both topside andsubsea), refineries and petrochemical plants, gas, power generation and utilities such aswater and waste, in fact any industry where continuous process is paramount.Furmanite IPSCO’s range of specialist engineering services and patented technologies, together with project planning capability and on-site management ensure that uptime is maximised36” hot tap cutter, coupon and pilot drilland assets keep earning.Hot Tapping is a procedure using an under-pressure drilling machine to cut a hole in an operating pipeline to facilitate a new branch connection from the original pipe or vessel. Theprocess is undertaken with no loss, leakage or interruption to flow.Furmanite IPSCO manufactures and operates a complete range of equipment to carry out hottaps from 1/2” (ND 13 mm) to 72” (ND 1800 mm) at pressure ratings up to 1480 psi (102 bar)and temperatures up to 370ºC (700ºF).Typical hot tap procedure involves a fitting designed tocontain system pressure, a valve to control the new connection and a hot tap drilling machine.Removal of coupon8” (200mm) hot tap line stop operationand 2” (50mm) equalisation tapBasic procedure!

Blind flange is installed on the line stopfittingLine stopping can require dedicated equipment to reflect the pipe size, pressure rating andtemperature of the media within the pipe. Furmanite IPSCO is able to address many challengesusing its extensive inventory, engineering expertise and years of experience in pipelineintervention.Folding head systemThe folding head line stop system, which utilises a reduced branchfitting, is another cost-effective method of line stopping. Thissystem is used in water/wastewater, transmission, oil, gas andpetrochemical industries, Sizes range from 8” (ND 200mm) to 72”(ND 1800 mm) with pressures up to 145 psi (10 bar). Larger sizesupon request.The prime advantage being that the equipment is lighter, morereadily transported to site and reduced workspace is requiredaround the pipe.48”(1200mm) folding head for crude oil line stopFolding head systemSequence of 36" (ND 900mm) folding head installed in steel cylinder reinforced concrete test pipe3

Line Stoppingcont’dSure-stop systemFurmanite IPSCO’s Sure-stop sealing is a well proven cylinder-wedge stopper method used bymany customers for its positive mechanical seal. Traditionally limited from 4” (ND 100 mm) to12” (ND 300 mm) pipe, this method is now available for larger diameter pipes, from 14” (ND350 mm) to 46” (ND 1150 mm).The positive mechanical seal provides two distinct advantages:! Sealing on the machine edge eliminates potential problems related to erosion/corrosion, internal pipebuild-up or out-of-roundness! The mechanically wedged seal allows new sections of pipe to be pressure tested betweenstoppers.20” (500mm) Sure-stop bottom-out fitting withcompletion plug installedHTP stopPositive sealing for high temperature and pressure pipe systemsDouble 20” (500mm) Sure-stop on natural gas linewith 14” (350mm) bypassThe HTP stop provides a metal-to-metal seal at the pipe face, eliminating problems fromerosion/corrosion, internal pipe build-up or out-of-roundness, creating a ‘block and bleed’system allowing modifications or valve replacement to be undertaken downstream. As thesealing surface is metal-to-metal, the line stop can be left on the line longer than elastomer sealswould allow.HTP stops are effective at temperatures up to 370ºC (700ºF) and pressure ratings up to 1480psi (102 bar).Sure-stop line stop head8” (200mm) HTP line stop on steam condensateline4

Offshore and subsea applicationsFurmanite IPSCO’s global expertise is geared to serve the offshore sector’s specificoperational requirements both topside and subsea.Furmanite IPSCO understands that maintaining production and minimising disruption iscritical to the profitability of the operation. Furmanite IPSCO’s hot tapping and line stoppingtechniques are geared to share in this ethos.Subsea applications bring new and unique challenges due to the need for diver interventionand pressure variations at depth. Furmanite IPSCO is able to perform hot taps and line stopssubsea at depths up to 1,000 ft, including single line stops through to double line stops withbypass on high-pressure natural gas and crude lines.It is within this environment that Furmanite IPSCO has carriedout its largest double hot tap connection on a 36” highpressure gas line at 500 ft. Other projects have included adouble 20” line stop with 12” bypass on HP gas line at 700ft,multiple subsea hot taps and line stops off the coast of Egypt,as well as multiple hot taps to float a submerged fuel storagecell at 650 ft.914XL hot tap machine is lowered in toNorth Sea for 16” hot tapSummaryFurmanite IPSCO has considerable experience around theglobe working to tight timescales, mobilisation/demobilisationschedules, restricted space and potentially hazardousenvironments.
