I. PURPOSE
This procedure outlines planning and job preparation requirements for safe hot taps and line plugs performed at Texas City.
II. SCOPE
.* * ' '.T.'-'V V'i
Hot tapping and/or line plugging is a last resort for connection or isolating a piece of equipment or piping system. This procedure covers all hot tapping and/or plugging, including valve bonnet tapping on process or utility systems. Valve packing by tapping and injecting is not included.
