Pipe Cold Cutting Services in Khafji
Khafji sits at the northern end of the coast, where marine conditions and corrosion make cutting out old pipe a regular job.
Cutting corroded marine pipe in Khafji
Onshore processing, storage and marine terminals around Khafji support offshore production and suffer from salty, humid air. Pipe cold cutting in Khafji lets corroded sections be removed without heat near tanks and jetties, and the clean bevel speeds up welding of the replacement.
Our split-frame clamshell machines clamp around the pipe and cut and bevel it at low speed, so there are no sparks, no heat-affected zone and no grinding before the welder takes over.
Most pipe cold cutting jobs in Khafji are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Khafji and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main pipe cold cutting services in KSA page.

Do you cut pipe on jetties at Khafji?
Yes. We work under the terminal permit system and plan the cut so the line is supported and the area stays clear.
Does pipe cold cutting in Khafji need a hot-work permit?
The cut produces no sparks or flame, so most sites treat it as cold work. The site rules decide the permit, and the line must still be isolated, cleared and gas tested first.
Can you cut and bevel in one set-up in Khafji?
Yes. The parting tool and bevel tool run on the same frame, so the pipe is cut and bevelled in one set-up, including compound bevels and J-preps.
