Hot Tap & Line Stopping Services in North America
Companies are often required to make modifications to their existing process piping systems and containment tank systems for reasons of expansion or maintenance. Historically, this has required shutting down a portion of the system and purging the line to ensure a safe connection. Hot tapping & Line Stopping is a cost & time-efficient alternative procedure of making connections to in-service piping systems, tanks and vessels.
Safe from start to finish, Taurus Industrial Group and Red Flame Industries’ are committed to risk management, through engineering controls, uncompromising standards, and complete hot tap & line stopping services, with custom designed solutions.
