Services
Hot Tapping
Hot tapping allows pipeline connections without system shutdowns. Our technicians safely drill into pressurized pipes containing water, gas, or chemicals using specialized equipment. This method prevents service interruptions for municipal water systems, industrial facilities, and energy plants while maintaining safety standards. Projects complete faster with no drainage required.
Line Stopping
Line stopping isolates pipeline sections for repairs without full system shutdowns. We install temporary valves and cutting equipment to perform modifications on live pipelines carrying water, wastewater, or industrial fluids. This technique reduces environmental impact and operational downtime for utility providers and manufacturing facilities.
Valve Insertion
Our valve insertion service installs gate valves in live water or wastewater lines without service disruption. Using specialized tools, we insert valves into existing pipelines made of cast iron, ductile iron, PVC, or steel. This solution meets AWWA standards while eliminating the need for system chlorination or draining.
Pipe Freezing
Pipe freezing creates temporary ice plugs in live pipelines using liquid nitrogen. This non-invasive method isolates sections for repairs without draining systems, handling pressures up to 3,000 psi. Ideal for HVAC systems, hospitals, and critical infrastructure where continuous operation is essential.
Leak Sealing
We repair leaks in valves, flanges, welds, and piping joints while systems remain operational. Our technicians address leaks in water, gas, steam, and chemical pipelines using mechanical clamps, sealants, and welding techniques. This prevents environmental contamination and maintains system integrity for industrial and municipal clients.
