Split-frame cold cutting
Clamshell machines mount around the pipe in place and cut through the wall without heat, sparks or distortion, even where access is tight.
Pipe cold cutting services in Ras Al Khair for minerals industrial city, aluminium and phosphate facilities and other sites across Ras Al Khair. Our crews cut and bevel pipe on site with split-frame machines, with no flame, no sparks and no heat-affected zone.
Pipe cold cutting in Ras Al Khair
Ras Al Khair on the Gulf coast is Saudi Arabia's minerals industrial city, with Ma'aden's aluminium and phosphate complexes, one of the world's largest combined power and desalination plants, and a dedicated industrial port. The equipment mix is unusual: large slurry, acid and seawater lines, smelter utilities and desalination trains, all in a coastal, corrosive setting.
Ras Al Khair's phosphate, aluminium and desalination plants use large slurry, acid, seawater and brine lines, often in lined, duplex or alloy pipe. Cold cutting gives clean cuts on these materials without heat damage to linings or the parent metal, and the machines can bevel or face the ends for welding or flanged connections.
Our pipe cold cutting services in Ras Al Khair are planned with your operations and safety teams and carried out under your permit-to-work.
Many cold cutting jobs continue after the cut: damaged flanges on the old line can be restored with flange facing, and the finished tie-in can be proven by hydrotesting before it goes back into service.
