Preserve Uptime. Reduce Emissions.
Hot tapping and isolation (HT&I) creates safe work zones during pipeline maintenance, modification and repair without the time, risk or expense of shutting down pipeline systems. Because there’s no need for decommissioning or depressurization, operators can maintain product flow while reducing emissions associated with traditional shutdown activities.
TDW’s portfolio includes proven isolation technologies such as STOPPLE® and SmartPlug®, as well as the next-generation TDW SHiiELD™ system, designed to support safer, lower-emission pipeline interventions through remote activation and real-time tracking capabilities.
As emissions regulations evolve and methane reduction goals become more aggressive, TDW continues advancing technologies that help operators reduce venting, flaring, and blowdown during maintenance operations. By combining isolation solutions with cross-compression technology, TDW helps support lower-emission maintenance strategies across pipeline systems.
Of course, technology is only part of the equation. TDW technicians are highly trained professionals with extensive field experience supporting complex projects around the world. Every technician completes comprehensive training and is prepared to execute critical interventions safely, efficiently and reliably.
