Hot Tapping & Line Stopping 36″ (900MM) AC Pipe
You don’t often see 36″ (900mm) Asbestos Cement water main, but Medicine Hat, Alberta, has some. The safest, easiest and most cost-effective way to make a new connection to an existing AC water main is with a hot tap. Hot tapping (wet tapping) is a fully self-contained and water-submerged method of making a new connection to your infrastructure without shutdown or interruption to flow. Line stopping or valve insertion may also be an excellent option for your aging infrastructure if you need isolation.
