Pipe Cold Cutting Services in Yanbu
Yanbu refineries and petrochemical plants are as tightly packed as any in the Kingdom, so turnaround cuts there are done cold.
Cold cutting for Yanbu turnarounds
Yanbu Industrial City hosts several refineries, an NGL plant and petrochemical complexes running long cycles between shutdowns. Pipe cold cutting in Yanbu removes spools and valves in the shutdown window and prepares the ends for welding, without adding hot-work load to an already crowded permit system.
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 Yanbu are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Yanbu and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main pipe cold cutting services in KSA page.

Can you support a full Yanbu turnaround with cold cutting?
Yes. We send machines ahead by road and size the crew to the cut list and shutdown schedule.
Can you cut and bevel in one set-up in Yanbu?
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 Yanbu?
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.
