All services within the building must be continuously operational without any possibility of a shutdown.As the building has been operating for many years, one of the 5” gate valve was malfunction and the management and operations team started looking for a solution to replace the valve without affecting the operation.

Before mobilization, our operation staffs began to perform necessary pre-inspection works to ascertain the pipe integrity. Thereafter, installation of the hot tap saddle with NDT inspections. The hot tap operations commenced and followed by the double line stop operation, in accordance to schedule and the entire project was completed successfully.
