Services

Hot-tap

Using a valve or a tee, we cut the pipeline to access its interior. We work with diameters from 1/2" up to 72". Depending on the diameter, we can operate at pressures up to 100 bar and temperatures up to 400°C on a wide range of materials, from polyethylene to stainless steel.

Linestop

From single to quadruple Linestops, with or without bypass. We can obturate from 1” with very low-pressure using ballooning systems, or with Linestop heads at low, medium and high pressure.

Tecpesa RED

Our RED system allows high-temperature Linestops up to 400ºC. It's a unique plugging system with a double seal, using materials coming from the aerospace industry, which we've adapted for the energy sector.

Maintenance

In all countries where we have service centers, we perform maintenance on our clients equipment. We carry out preventive checks and periodic maintenance, as well as complete disassembly of equipment and the verification and/or repair of each of its components.

Training

TECPESA places special emphasis on training its clients, developing training courses for the operation of the equipment we supply. Training is conducted at TECPESA's facilities, and in some cases, we provide on-site training at the customer premises.

Market

CLEAN/RENEWABLE ENERGY

We use specialized equipment and fittings for working in renewable and clean energy environments such as solar thermal power plants, H2 pipelines and CO2 pipelines

PLANT NETWORKS

Refineries and petrochemical plants require customized solutions to address the complexity of the racks in their facilities. Different pressures, temperatures, and diameters demand a tailored approach for each project.
