FRALEX Standard GLSC-002 | Hot Tapping & Line Stopping – High-Pressure Access & Isolation

FRALEX GLSC-002 — Hot Tapping & Line Stopping Standard | Under-Pressure Drilling on Live Pipelines | FRALEX ESS

Intervening in living systems — FRALEX Standard GLSC-002.

GLSC-002 provides the mandatory framework for drilling into and isolating pressurized pipelines without shutdown. Bridging the gap between mechanical execution and process safety — where flow dynamics, thermal effects, and mechanical forces must be calculated and controlled simultaneously on a live, operational asset.

Core content: Flow and Temperature Dynamics: calculating the cooling effect during welding and tapping on live lines | Mechanical Equilibrium: balancing internal pressure against tapping machine forces | Seal Integrity: double block and bleed requirements for line stopping operations | Risk Management: preventing blowouts and structural collapse during under-pressure drilling

For: Hot Tapping Engineers | Pipeline Engineers | Asset Integrity Managers | Site Supervisors | HSE Engineers | Maintenance Engineers | Process Safety Specialists
