The TorqCut Advantage

Why TorqCut.

Safe, cost-effective, engineered cold cutting — from single mixed-material sections to full onshore decommissioning campaigns.

Hazardous Material Ready

Proven cutting through asbestos-coated and lagged pipe. No hot work, no sparks, minimal disturbance.

Safety-First Approach

Cold-cutting technology eliminates hot work hazards. Fully ATEX-compliant systems.

Precision Engineered

Consistent, repeatable cuts across any material grade, wall thickness, or geometry.

Bespoke Solutions

Every project is unique. We engineer the tooling to match your exact requirements.

Our Process

How it works.

A streamlined, engineering-led process from first contact to final report.

01

Scope & Survey

We assess your site conditions, material specifications, and access constraints to define the optimal approach.

02

Engineer & Plan

Our team designs a bespoke cutting plan with tool selection, safety protocols, and contingency measures.

03

Set Up & Cut

Mount the TorqCut to your excavator and start cutting. Simple set-up, full operator training, precision results on-site.

04

Verify & Report

Full documentation package including cut verification, material disposition, and project close-out report.

Head-to-Head

TorqCut vs Conventional.

Unlike gas cutting, TorqCut needs no gas bottles, gas-freeing or other consumable setup in the field — and it produces no sparks or heat-affected zone. Unlike diamond wire (DWS) or shear cutting, it delivers a fast, repeatable engineered cut on coated, lined and mixed-material sections without rigging a wire run or crushing the workpiece.
