Hot Tapping & Line Stopping
Hot Tapping is the capability to safely tie into a pressurized system by drilling while it is on stream and under pressure.
- Can Locally Perform up to 20-Inch Hot Taps, Class 600
- Can Locally Perform up to 10-Inch Line Stops
Our company stocks specialized equipment (hot tap tool, cutters, and housings) that can perform hot taps up to a 12-inch diameter. We have competent and trained staff on a permanent basis to cater for dynamic applications regardless of the pipe material and/or the fluid content. Our team can also source fittings, valves, and cutters to suit your needs.
Line Stops are used to temporarily shut down a pipeline system to complete modifications or repairs. They allow a system to operate without any interruption in service. This is typically done in conjunction with hot tapping.
Mechanical Scraper Exchanger Tube Cleaning
We provide innovative solutions for achieving maximum efficiency and reliability to your plant cooling water systems. Whether it is a large 40,000 tube condenser or small shell and tube heat exchanger, On Site Services Ltd. has the experience, knowledge, and right products to cope with differing conditions and sometimes unique challenges that each situation presents.
Applications: For cleaning tubes in Heat Exchangers, Condensers, Chillers, Absorbers, Water Heaters, Coolers, and other small diameter pressure vessels.
Mechanical Scraper System
The ultimate tube cleaning solution for Condensers, Heat Exchangers, Coolers, and more. The Mechanical Scraper System uses our unique booster pump to generate low-pressure water to propel specially designed cleaners down the tubes cleaning as they go.
The cleaners are loaded in batches, and it is clearly identifiable to see which tubes are to be cleaned. The operator then fits the gun into each tube and pulls the trigger to release the low pressure, high volume water flow to power the cleaner through each tube. A dial on the water gun indicates when the cleaner has exited the cleaned tube.
The operator continues this process until all the tubes have been cleaned. The cleaners come in a variety of designs, materials, sizes, and gauges to suit the cleaning needs of your condenser tubes.
The Mechanical Scraper System can remove a wide range of deposits from algae to hard scale without damaging the wall of the tube. Using a two-pump system, up to 8,000 tubes a shift can be cleaned. Our alliance partner has been cleaning tubes with this process very successfully for the past 15 years in the UK and around the world.
Cleaning on a regular maintenance schedule can offer you the following benefits that will ultimately save you money:
- Restored To Working Condition
- Better Vacuum
- Extended Tube Life
- Increased Efficiency
- Energy Conservation
- Major Fuel Saving
- Additional Power Generation
- Tube Leak Reduction
In fact, there have been many occasions when the cost of the cleaning has paid for itself in a matter of weeks.

Chemical & Corrosion Management
Protect your assets with good corrosion and chemical management from On Site Services Ltd. We provide the expertise needed to ensure your operations run smoothly. We design, monitor, and consult on a wide range of corrosion and chemical application projects.
Providing Our Expertise
In the oil and gas industry, Integrity Management plays a significant part in ensuring assets are protected. Our expertise in this area is required during project design and ongoing asset integrity management, especially when this expertise does not reside within your company’s employee pool.
Also, chemical corrosion inhibition is a major part of internal corrosion mitigation. Chemical treatment programs are also critical to operations in other areas – scale control for water-containing systems, hydrate inhibition for gas systems, demulsification for oil-water separation both on-shore and off-shore, etc.
We have on-staff engineers and field resources to completely handle both these areas on a contract basis. This can be for a new facility or existing assets where “getting a handle” on this area has been problematic.
Services provided here include:
- Engineering consultancy – Our staff includes technical people that have managed major chemical company accounts.
- Field chemical management – We have experienced technicians capable of surveys, chemical injection, setup and maintenance, on-site testing, and monitoring.
- Preparation of chemical bid packages, evaluation, and award.
- Production chemical training.
- It is now recognized that Corrosion Management drives the Chemical Injection program and not the other way around.
- Provision of equipment (probes, corrosion coupons, scale coupons, bio-probes, sampling systems, etc.
- Personnel and equipment to perform on-line high-pressure corrosion coupons retrievals.
These services apply to Refineries, Process Plants, upstream Oil and Gas Production, Gas Transport, and Water Companies.
We are the sole representative for Metal Samples (ALSPI) in the Caribbean
Metal Samples is one of the world leaders in corrosion monitoring. Corrosion is the leading cause of process equipment and piping failure, requiring companies to pay billions of dollars annually in replacement costs and downtime. We offer a wide range of solutions to corrosion problems in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, petrochemical, water treatment, chemical, pulp and paper, and pharmaceutical. Since 1990, we have introduced a continuous stream of products that help customers obtain and analyze corrosion data that was previously inaccessible.
Products include internal corrosion monitoring systems (coupons and probes). Many of the systems can operate using discrete monitoring and online monitoring systems that can be hooked up to Distributed Control Systems.
Remote Corrosion Monitoring - Telemetry System
This remote telemetry system obtains real-time corrosion monitoring data via the Internet from anywhere in the world. The system features communications via satellite to a secure Web Monitor data server. With this powerful web-based back end, you can bring the data to your desk no matter where the site is located.
System Benefits Include:
- Eliminating costly travel to remote sites
- Gathering important corrosion data at a low cost
The built-in solar panel powers the Base Station, allowing for use when local power is not available. Using its internal battery and charge control circuit, the unit functions in the ‘Monitor & Sleep’ mode and can operate unattended for many years.
This 4-input system allows data from up to four corrosion monitoring sites to be transmitted. The system will send a daily reading of each monitoring point. The web server will maintain a history for each site, allowing you to review the data and calculate corrosion rates from various user-selectable time periods.
Our Supervisors and Technicians are experienced and certified in all applicable services, which include:
- Chemical Program Design and Evaluation
- Design and Installation of Monitoring Systems and Commissioning
- Troubleshooting of Monitoring Systems
- On-Line Field Coupon/Probe Retrieval and Installation
- Service and Repair of Corrosion Monitoring Equipment
Chemical Treatment Programs
Chemical corrosion inhibition is a significant part of internal corrosion mitigation. We provide consultancy and monitoring of your chemical treatment operations.
Chemical treatment programs are critical to the operation in other areas, such as:
