Process & Pipeline Isolation

Group are a trusted partner in providing pipeline isolation services. Our dedicated team
consultation service to assist operators in assessing the optimum solution for their
isolation requirements. Our comprehensive range of products and services provide the
practical pipeline isolation integrity for the application.

STATS extensive Tecno Plug range provides fail-safe Double Block and Bleed pipeline
isolation tools for high pressure applications while the system remains live and at operating
pressure. Dual seal Tecno Plugs enable maintenance work to be carried out safely and
efficiently while meeting industry-led Double Block and Bleed requirements.
The dual seals provide an annulus void which can be pressure tested to verify both seals are
leak tight before maintenance work is carried out. Once the seal integrity has been proved
the annulus is then vented to ambient to create a zero-energy zone, providing effective Double
Block and Bleed isolation. Available for remote, tethered, piggable or manual deployment and
operation, STATS Tecno Plugs provide a robust system for safety critical activities.

Intervention & Isolation

STATS have designed and manufactured a number of world-class products, which have led major
operators to reassess how they manage intervention and isolation projects.

World-Class Products

BISEP | High Pressure Intervention & Isolation

Pipeline intervention and isolation can be achieved using STATS patented fail-safe BISEP. This
high integrity isolation is provided by a spherical dual seal plug deployed through a single full
bore hot tap penetration. The dual seals provide an annulus void which can be pressure tested
to verify both seals are leak tight before maintenance work is carried out. Once the seal integrity
has been proved the annulus is then vented to ambient to create a zero-energy zone, providing
effective Double Block and Bleed isolation.

Intervention & Isolation

Small Diameter

Live System Isolation

The BI-STOP small bore intervention and

isolation service provides a unique system
that has been developed to address problems
with small bore pipework that have absent or
limited isolation facilities. The system enables
small bore pipework and branches to be
isolated, cut and terminated with a full bore
valve whilst the system remains live.

Hydrostatic Test

Patented Technology

E-PEP | External Pipe End Plug

In-Line Weld Test Tool | Localised Hydrostatic Test

In-Line and Flanged Weld Test Tools are

commonly used during the maintenance and
modification of piping or process equipment,
enabling localised pressure testing. Inserted
into the piping or equipment component to
be tested, Weld Test Tools provide a fast
and efficient method of verifying the integrity
of butt welds, joints or other welded pipe
components.
STATS patented Pipe End Plugs are used
primarily in construction and fabrication of
the oil, gas and petrochemical industries.
Pipe End Plugs facilitate hydrostatic leak and
strength tests by providing a cap to openended pipe, pipe spools or piping systems.
Internal and External Pipe End Plugs (I-PEP
& E-PEP) allow the pipework to be quickly
and efficiently pressure tested with minimum
preparation to the pipe end and no remedial
work after removal.

Weldless Connection

Similarly Hot Tap Clamps when supplied with

locks and seals provide structural containment,
fitted with a branched off-take to suit system
specification. Hot Tap Clamps enable efficient
connection of new branch pipework to existing
infrastructure without the requirement for
welding.

Connector | Flange to Pipe Connection

No Hot Work Required

Mechanical Connectors provide a reliable,

cost effective alternative to welded flange
connections and terminations. The slipover
design and mechanical locking assembly
significantly reduces system downtime and
risk. Easily installed to enable pipe repair, tiein or capping of redundant lines.

Restore Structural Integrity

Process & Pipeline Repair

STATS Repair Clamps are engineered and
manufactured
for
simple
installation
on
damaged or leaking pipework to fully restore
pressure integrity. Locks and dual seals provide
structural containment, transferring the full axial
load of the pipe to the clamp body allowing
the clamp to withstand full pipeline separation
loads.

Safe, Controlled Handling

STATS provide a range of pipe handling

equipment for the safe and controlled handling
of piles, pipelines and caissons. Internal and
External Lifting Tools (ILT & ELT) cover a
range of sizes for pile handling and caisson
removal. STATS Pipeline Retrieval Tools (PRT)
provide subsea pipeline recovery.

EPRIS & Subsea Services

Cutting Edge Technology

STATS have developed a diverse range of pipeline isolation and repair products covering
subsea oil, gas and marine pipelines. Our subsea portfolio is built around our commitment to
continued R&D and product development.
STATS partner major operators in the development and support of Emergency Pipeline
Repair Isolation Systems (EPRIS) to minimise the downtime of damaged subsea pipelines. An
incident from an anchor drag or dropped object can be catastrophic to the environment and
transportation of hydrocarbons.
The primary reason for an EPRIS is to ensure rapid response, minimising environmental and
commercial impact by ensuring resumption of full production as soon as possible. STATS
EPRIS and subsea services provide fully engineered emergency pipeline repair equipment,
designed, manufactured and maintained in a state of readiness in accordance with client
specifications. Our EPRIS equipment comprises remote piggable pipeline isolation Tecno Plugs,
Pipeline Retrieval Tools and dual seal Structural Repair Clamps.

Onsite Machining Services | Cold Tapping

Hot & Cold Tapping Services

STATS Hot and Cold Tapping services allow a branch connection to be made into piping or
vessels while the system remains live and under working pressure, allowing continuous system
operation and avoiding unplanned shutdowns and service interruptions. STATS provide a safe
and cost effective solution to allow efficient tie-ins for repair or modification purposes while
under full operating conditions, therefore reducing asset downtime.
STATS can provide a turnkey packaged approach from clamp or tee installation through to
isolation of line content, inclusive of slab valve and completion flange provision. STATS will
undertake system engineering analysis and project engineering as part of this service.
