Hot & Cold Tapping Services

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.
This allows continuous system operations and avoids
unplanned shutdowns or 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 to 36 with alternative sizes
available upon request.

Key Features

Continuous system operation - shutdown and service interruptions avoided

Hot Taps performed on a variety of piping and vessel materials and mediums
No pipe content released to the atmosphere
No cutting, realignment and re-welding of pipeline sections
Planning and coordination costs reduced
Increased worker safety

Line Isolation

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.
BISEP is a Trade Mark of STATS (UK) Ltd

On-Site Machining Services

In hazardous environments where the potential for fire or explosion exists
desired, STATS Cold Cutting & bevelling service replaces traditional methods
and grinders. Fully preparing the pipe end for welding with greater accuracy
field cuts are performed quickly and effectively often without the requirement

or when greater precision is

such as torches, reed cutters,
and a higher level of safety,
for hot work permits.

STATS offer portable clamshell lathes designed for on-site precision severing, severing / beveling, and
severing / double beveling.
The aluminum frame is a split ring assembly capable of being disassembled to be installed around inline piping. The frame has bearing mountings for the rotating head, a drive motor mount, locator pads
for mounting to the pipe, and a gear cover. Our low clearance clamshells are designed to fit into tight
working areas as well as minimise machine weight. These clamshells are lightweight, but retain rigidity
during operation.

These lathes simultaneously sever and bevel as they cut. Tool bits are automatically fed radially into the
work piece with each rotation of the lathe, which assures precise machining. The machines can be fitted
with single point beveling tool boxes for heavy wall pipe. The split frame design enables easy setup on
in-line piping, elbows, tees, valves, nozzles and flanges.

Key Features

Sizes ranging from 4 up to 40

Counterbore Module
Compressed Air or Hydraulic Drive
In-Line or Right Angle Drive
Locator Pads for Extended Range
Reduced Axial Clearance with special tooling
