2 × 8″ HOT TAPS - Upper Mechanical room

Project Overview

This project involved the completion of two 8″ live hot taps inside an active building mechanical room. WellFab installed and aligned the required valves, performed controlled live cutting, verified coupon capture, monitored pressure integrity, and restored the system connection points after completion.

The work was completed with attention to safety, access limitations, system reliability, and operational continuity within a critical commercial facility.

Scope of Work

✓ Completed two 8″ live hot taps
✓ Installed and aligned hot tap valves
✓ Performed controlled cutting with verified coupon capture
✓ Monitored pressure and system integrity during the operation
✓ Completed clean tie-ins for new connection points
✓ Restored system connection points after completion
✓ Coordinated work within an upper mechanical room environment

Projects Impact

Working within a confined upper mechanical space required careful coordination, precise execution, and strong safety control. The completed hot taps provided reliable new connection points while maintaining system performance and operational continuity.

This project demonstrates WellFab’s ability to perform large-diameter hot tapping inside active commercial facilities where access, safety, and service continuity are critical.
