High-Pressure Hot Tapping Machines

High-Pressure Hot Tapping Machines

Used to make a new connection into an operational pipeline, our tapping machines can be used on a wide range of pipeline diameters, working pressures and materials, in any location and position.

Designed and built for a wide range of applications and environments where pipelines have to remain live and shut down is not an option, Laminar offer high-pressure tapping machines that can be used for hot tapping and for setting completion plugs. It incorporates industry-leading features, LAM range incorporates a high-quality sealing configuration, allowing taps to be performed safely on a wide range of pipeline materials and mediums. A positive retention pilot drill system has been incorporated to ensure robust securing and recovery of the cut pipeline coupon. 

As standard, all LAM machines are field-tested in harsh environments and are fully compatible with industry-standard tapping equipment, including the deployment and recovery of completion plugs. Laminar’s range of high-pressure hot tapping machines is ideal for the largest hot tap application and pipe plugging.
