We all know how beneficial Hot Tapping is. And, this is what makes this technique so popular. Hot Tapping or Under Pressure Drilling method is employed as a means of providing a branch connection to a live pipe. Then, an isolated valve is attached to a short section of a pipe. Once the valve is fitted, the next step is to drill the pipe through the valve. After drilling, the valve is closed, and the drilling equipment removed. So, this is how the whole process works.
