Hot Tapping Services Pipework Company

See our Hot Tapping Services project:

Site – Isleden House

Client – T2 Building Services Ltd

Location – London

Contract Duration – One afternoon during normal working hours

Task Appointed – To install two hot taps on a 3″ LTHW carbon steel pipework within the roof space

Highlights of Installation Supplied Included –

At Isleden House in London our engineers safely carried Hot Tapping Services. Firstly, the team securely fitted the boss, we used our specialist drilling rig to create a precise aperture in the pipework. This process included fitting a ¾” valve and nipple to ensure the system remained live and uninterrupted throughout the works. By doing this, we enabled future connections to be made without shutting down or draining the existing system.

Once the installation was complete, our engineers left the valve and nipple in place ready for connections to be made by others. This seamless approach saved time, reduced disruption, and provided the client with a safe and cost-effective solution.

As part of our commitment to professional standards, we cleared all redundant materials from site and disposed of them at a licensed recycling facility. Our team always leaves every project clean, safe, and compliant.

Everything was left in good working order, there were no disruption to services and the client was pleased with their new hot taps.

What is Hot Tapping Services?

The hot tapping process creates a live connection to existing pipework without isolating, shutting down, or draining the system. With this method, the pipeline continues to operate while engineers carry out maintenance or modifications. As a result, services run without disruption, saving both time and cost – read our guide.
