14" Hot tap
Project Overview
WellFab performed a 14″ hot tap on an active glycol storage tank to install a new code-compliant nozzle without draining or interrupting operations. Engineered around the tank’s curved shell and live conditions, the work ensured precise fit-up and safe execution.
The tie-in preserved product integrity, avoided shutdown and disposal costs, and delivered a clean, fully documented installation that meets regulatory and pressure-boundary requirements.
Operational Continuity & Verified Compliance
The tie-in preserved product integrity and eliminated the need for temporary storage or system shutdown. The project concluded with a clean, fully documented installation that enhances long-term reliability and meets all regulatory and pressure-boundary requirements.
Project Impact
WellFab delivered a zero-drain, zero-contamination tie-in that eliminated product loss and downtime, accelerated return to service, and left a permanent, documented access point for future maintenance or instrumentation—raising reliability and compliance while avoiding costly temporary storage and restart complications.
