Hot Tap and Wet Taps

HOT TAP AND WET TAP SERVICES FOR COASTAL LOUISIANA AND MISSISSIPPI

Level A Services provides hot tapping services to mechanical and municipal contractors from Lake Charles to Biloxi and Gulfport. As a specialist wet tapping contractor, we make connections to live pressurized pipelines across water, chilled water, and steam lines without taking the system offline. Our crews perform taps from 3/4 to 48 inches on PCCP, ductile iron, cast iron, AC, HDPE, copper and steel pipe, and we supply the materials required for many jobs.

HOT TAPPING SERVICES WE PROVIDE

Every tap Level A performs is executed with the pipeline at full operating pressure. We serve project managers, estimators, superintendents, and foremen of mechanical and municipal construction companies, as well as public works directors and municipal water and sewer operators throughout the Gulf Coast.

  1. Under Pressure Hot Tap

    An under-pressure hot tap allows your crew to add a new branch connection to a live pipeline without depressurizing or dewatering the main. Level A installs a tapping fitting onto the existing pipe, then uses a tapping machine to cut through the pipe wall while the system remains in full service. The cutter and coupon are retracted, the valve is closed, and the line is ready for tie-in.

  2. Wet Tap 3/4 Inch to 48 Inch

    Level A performs wet tap work across a wide diameter range, from 3/4 inch to 48 inch, on PCCP, ductile iron, cast iron, AC, HDPE, copper and steel pipe. Whether the scope calls for a small service connection or a large-diameter transmission main tap, our equipment and field experience are matched to the job.

  3. PCCP Hot Tap Services

    Prestressed concrete cylinder pipe requires material-specific tooling and process controls. Level A’s PCCP hot tap services cover the full diameter range we serve, with crews experienced in the specific requirements of this pipe type across Gulf Coast municipal water systems.

  4. Chilled Water Hot Tap

    Level A performs chilled water hot tap work for mechanical contractors on building and campus systems, district cooling loops, and industrial chilled water distribution lines. Taps are completed under system operating pressure and temperature, keeping your facility running without interruption.

  5. Steam Pipe Hot Tapping

    Steam pipe hot tapping requires specialized equipment and experienced crews. Level A handles steam line connections with the process knowledge and tooling that this application demands, maintaining system integrity throughout the tap procedure.

  6. Force Main Wet Tap

    Level A performs force main wet tap connections on pressurized sewer mains, including PCCP, ductile iron, PVC and steel pipe. Our crews have the field experience to complete force main taps accurately in the site conditions common to coastal Louisiana and Mississippi.

WHY CONTRACTORS CHOOSE LEVEL A

  • No System Shutdown Required
    Hot tapping keeps your system live throughout the connection process. There’s no need to coordinate system-wide shutdowns with downstream users, drain the main, or refill and repressurize after the work is done.
  • Multiple Pipe Materials and Fluid Types
    Level A works on PCCP, ductile iron, cast iron, AC, HDPE, copper and steel pipe across water, chilled water, steam, and sewer applications. One contractor covers the range of materials and fluids your project requires.
  • Materials Supply
    For many jobs, Level A also supplies the tapping fittings, valves, and associated materials required to complete the work. Coordinating materials through the same contractor simplifies procurement and keeps the schedule moving.
  • Available 24 Hours a Day
    Pipeline work doesn’t always follow business hours. Level A crews are available around the clock for both scheduled projects and emergency response throughout coastal Louisiana and Mississippi.
  • Free Estimates
    Level A provides free project estimates for all hot tap and wet tap work. Provide your pipe size, pipe material, fluid type, operating pressure, and site location, and we’ll respond with a clear scope and price.
