Pipe cold cutting in Dhahran
Dhahran is the historic centre of the Saudi oil industry, with oil and gas operating facilities, utility infrastructure and continuous project and construction activity around it. Sites here are run under some of the Kingdom's most detailed engineering and safety standards, so documentation, competency and procedure compliance are as important as the work itself.
In Dhahran, cold cutting supports modifications and tie-ins on operating oil and gas facilities and utility systems, where every cut is planned through detailed method statements and permits. We provide the cutting plan, machine data and bevel details in advance so approvals are in place before the crew arrives.
Every job under our pipe cold cutting services in Dhahran 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.
