Hot Tapping & Isolation

Preserve up time. Reduce emissions.

Hot tapping and isolation lets operators maintain, modify or repair pipelines without shutdown. Product keeps flowing with no depressurization.

TDW delivers proven tools like STOPPLE® and advanced isolation technologies including SmartPlug® and the SHiiELD™ system. Remote operation, real-time monitoring and verified isolation help teams work safely and confidently.

As emissions standards tighten, these solutions help reduce venting, flaring and blowdown during maintenance. Paired with compression strategies, they support lower-emission operations.

Every project is executed by experienced TDW technicians with a strong track record in the field.
