Customer Testimonials & Success Cases

Trust is Built on Verification. Leading pipeline operators and engineering contractors worldwide rely on our HT Series hot tapping machines for their most critical interventions.

Case Study: Emergency Bypass Installation on a Major Asian Gas Pipeline

Client Background: A large state-owned pipeline operator managing a high-pressure natural gas transmission trunkline.
Challenge: Scheduled maintenance requiring a 3-day shutdown of a pipeline section, but regulations absolutely forbade interrupting supply to downstream cities and industrial plants. A traditional shutdown would result in massive economic penalties and reputational damage.
Solution: JSW provided a complete hot tapping and line stopping solution. Using the HT-B0104 Hydraulic Hot Tapping Machine and matched line stopping equipment, two DN100 taps were successfully made on the live pipeline to install a pre-fabricated bypass.
Results:

• Zero Production Shutdown: Gas flow through the main trunkline was maintained at 100% throughout the 72-hour maintenance period.

• Efficient & Safe Execution: Both hot taps were completed within 8 hours each, adhering strictly to the safe hot tapping procedure with zero safety incidents.

• Cost Savings: Avoided an estimated over $500,000 in potential production loss and contract penalty costs for the client.

“JSW’s hydraulic hot tapping machine performed with exceptional reliability. Their technical service team was professional and efficient. This successful pressure tapping operation has set the standard for how we handle similar challenges.” — Client Project Director

Case Study: Process Line Modification at a North American Chemical Plant

Client Background: An international chemical company needed to add a new inspection port on a live pipeline carrying corrosive media.
Challenge: The pipeline material was specialty-grade, and the medium was hazardous. The client had extreme requirements for sealing integrity during the tap and corrosion resistance of the equipment.
Solution: JSW engineers recommended the HT-A0104 Manual Hot Tapping Machine, supplied with custom seals and hot tap tool materials specified for the medium. A detailed Job Safety Analysis (JSA) was conducted pre-operation.
Results:

• Perfect Seal: Achieved zero leakage throughout the drilling and fitting installation process.

• Precision Completion: The tap was executed with precise dimensions, providing a perfect interface for the subsequent instrument installation.

• Minimal Disruption: The flexibility and quiet operation of the manual machine minimized interference with other sensitive areas of the plant.

“We evaluated several hot tapping machine suppliers. JSW provided not just a machine, but a complete solution including risk analysis. That gave us the confidence we needed.” — Client Maintenance Manager

Let Our Success Stories Become Part of Yours. Whether you face an emergency repair, a planned modification, or a complex process integration, JSW’s proven experience and reliable equipment provide the assurance you need.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can this hot tapping machine really operate without shutting down the pipeline?

A: Absolutely. That is the core function of hot tapping equipment. The HT Series machines are specifically designed to drill into pressurized pipelines safely, allowing for repairs, connections, or modifications with zero flow interruption.

Q2: What is the maximum pipe wall thickness the machine can handle?

A: The capability depends on the model and cutter used. The HT-A0104 and B0104 models, with their longer spindle stroke (530-550mm), can handle substantial wall thicknesses and are suitable for most standard and heavy-wall pipelines. Specifics should be discussed based on your pipeline specs.

Q3: Do you provide training for operating the machine and the hot tapping procedure?

A: Yes. We provide comprehensive training covering machine operation, safety protocols, and standard hot tapping procedures. This ensures your team can deploy the equipment confidently and effectively.
