EUSR Under Pressure Drilling and Tapping Training

This training course provides the essential learning required for individuals to carry out Under Pressure Drilling and Tapping in accordance with recognised best practice. Under pressure drilling is often called ‘hot tapping’ as it’s a precise drilling process where a hole is cut into an operational pressure main (flowing pipe system). The objective is to not leak the contents of the main or interrupt flow. A tapping sleeve and valve are utilised to facilitate the cutting of a hole in the under pressure main, providing a branch connection. Typical under pressure drilling capabilities range from ¼” to 48” pipelines and this technique can be performed on all types of pipes.
