Pipe Cold Cutting Services in Ras Tanura
Terminal and tank farm lines at Ras Tanura carry crude and products, so they are among the last places anyone wants an open spark. We cut them cold.
Cutting large terminal lines safely in Ras Tanura
Ras Tanura combines a refinery with one of the busiest crude export terminals anywhere, linked by large-diameter lines across tank fields and jetties. Pipe cold cutting in Ras Tanura is the safe way to cut into these lines for valve changes, tie-ins and damaged sections, especially where residual hydrocarbon may remain.
Each cut is made by a parting tool and a bevel tool turning together on a frame centred on the pipe, which gives a square, machined end ready for fit-up.
Most pipe cold cutting jobs in Ras Tanura are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Ras Tanura and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main pipe cold cutting services in KSA page.

Can you cut large-diameter terminal lines in Ras Tanura?
Yes. Split-frame machines are sized to large-bore pipe, and the line is supported either side so it cannot move when the cut breaks through.
Can you cut and bevel in one set-up in Ras Tanura?
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.
What pipe sizes can you cold cut in Ras Tanura?
Our split-frame machines cover small-bore lines up to large-diameter pipe. Send the outside diameter, schedule and material and we will confirm the machine.
