difference between hot tapping and traditional shutdown tapping\u00a0is that hot tapping allows pipeline connections and modifications to be made while the system remains in live, pressurized service, whereas traditional shutdown tapping requires the complete cessation of operations, depressurization, and often drainage of the entire pipeline section-.
