Hot Tapping Services in Dubai & Across the UAE
TCAL provides safe, engineered hot tapping services in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and every emirate — creating new branch connections on live pipelines with zero shutdown, zero drained systems and zero lost production.
New Connections on Live Pipelines — Without Stopping Your Operation
Hot tapping (also called pressure tapping or line tapping) is the technique of cutting a new branch connection into a pressurized, in-service pipeline — without shutting the line down, draining the system or interrupting supply. For plants, towers, malls and district cooling networks, that means new connections, valves, or instrument points are installed while your operation keeps running at full capacity.
As one of the most experienced hot tapping companies in Dubai, TCAL executes every tap through a controlled, engineered sequence: a full-bore fitting is welded or bolted to the live line, a rated isolation valve is mounted, and our hot tap machine cuts the coupon through the open valve under full pressure control. The valve closes, the machine retracts, and your new branch is live — typically within hours, not days.
Hot tapping pairs naturally with our pipe freezing services when a section must be isolated without system drain-down, and with our calibration services when new instrument points need certified gauges and transmitters from day one. One team, one mobilization, one accountable partner.
We serve clients across the Emirates as a trusted provider of hot tapping services in UAE — from high-rise chilled water risers in Dubai Marina to process lines in Abu Dhabi's industrial zones — with crews available day and night, including weekends and emergency callouts.
Our Hot Tapping Process
Every tap follows the same engineered, safety-first sequence — whether it's a 1″ instrument point or a 16″ branch connection.
Site Survey & Engineering
We assess line material, pressure, temperature and flow, then engineer the tap: fitting type, valve rating and machine selection.
Fitting & Valve Installation
A full-bore split tee or weldolet is fixed to the live line and pressure tested, with the isolation valve mounted and verified.
The Controlled Tap
Our hot tap machine cuts the coupon through the open valve under full pressure control — the line keeps running throughout.
Completion & Handover
Coupon retrieved, valve closed, machine retracted. You receive the new live branch plus full documentation of the works.

Industries That Trust Our Hot Tapping Crews
Hot Tapping — Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — when engineered and executed correctly. Every TCAL hot tap starts with a survey of line material, pressure, temperature and flow. The fitting and valve are pressure tested before any cut is made, and the tap itself happens through a rated isolation valve under full control. Our crews follow strict permit-to-work and HSE procedures on every site.
We perform branch connections on pipelines up to 16 inches, covering everything from small instrument points to full-size branch tees on chilled water, condenser water, fire and process lines.
Yes. TCAL provides hot tapping services across all seven emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — with crews that mobilize quickly from our Dubai base, including for emergency and night works.
Most taps are completed within hours once the fitting is installed and tested. Total project time depends on line size, access and welding requirements — we confirm a clear schedule in your quotation, and night or weekend slots are available to suit your operations.
Yes. As a one-stop provider we supply the split tees, weldolets, isolation valves and gaskets required for the tap, pressure test them on site, and hand over full documentation — one vendor, one accountability.
Cost depends on line size, material, pressure and location. Send us your line details or drawings and our engineers will return a detailed quotation — usually within the same working day. Call +971 56 858 2626 or use the Request A Quote button.
