Pipe Cold Cutting Services in Ras Tanura

Ras Tanura is the site of one of Saudi Arabia's largest refineries and one of the world's biggest crude oil export terminals, with tank farms, loading lines, manifolds and subsea pipelines running out to the berths. The work here is shaped by the sea: marine corrosion, large-diameter lines, and jetty and terminal schedules that are planned around tanker movements.

Ras Tanura's terminal and tank-farm pipework includes very large-diameter loading lines and manifolds where hot work is tightly controlled. Cold cutting is used here to remove corroded sections, cut in new tie-ins and prepare large lines for welding. For the biggest diameters and thick-walled sections we use diamond wire and saw cutting alongside split-frame machines.

Every job under our pipe cold cutting services in Ras Tanura starts with a site survey and a written method statement, and ends with a record of the work for your files.

If the scope goes beyond cutting, the same crew can handle bolt torquing on the new joints, hydrotesting of the replaced section and nitrogen purging before start-up.

FAQ

Pipe cold cutting services in Ras Tanura: FAQ

Can you cold cut large-diameter loading lines in Ras Tanura?

Yes. We use split-frame machines sized to the line, and diamond wire or saw cutting for the largest and thickest sections at terminals and tank farms.

Can you work around terminal and tanker schedules in Ras Tanura?

Yes. We plan jobs around loading windows and terminal permits, and can split work into short tasks that fit between vessel movements when a line cannot be out of service for long.

Does cold cutting remove the need for a hot-work permit?

The cutting itself produces no flame or sparks, so many sites treat it as cold work. The permit type is always decided by your site's permit-to-work system, and the line must still be isolated and gas-tested.
