8” Line Stop – Leaking Pipeline Repair
Project Overview
WellFab was called in to support the repair of a leaking pipeline by performing a controlled 8” hot tap and line stop. The affected section required targeted isolation so the repair could be completed safely without shutting down the entire system.
Through careful planning, live system control, and precise execution, WellFab created a safe isolation point that allowed the leaking section to be repaired while minimizing disruption to ongoing operations.
Scope of Work
✓ Completed an 8” hot tap and line stop installation on the active pipeline.
✓ Isolated the affected pipeline section to create a controlled and safe repair window.
✓ Supported repair of the leaking pipeline segment without requiring a full system shutdown.
✓ Monitored system conditions throughout the work to maintain pressure integrity and operational safety.
✓ Completed system reinstatement after the repair was completed.
Project Impact
By using a controlled line stop instead of a full shutdown, WellFab helped reduce downtime, limit operational disruption, and support a safer repair process.
The project demonstrated WellFab’s ability to respond to urgent pipeline issues with practical live-system solutions that protect both system performance and site operations.
