TorqCut

Applications

Engineered cold cutting, deployed where it matters.

From piling and nuclear decommissioning to pipeline decommissioning, wellhead cutting and onshore civils, TorqCut Chopsaws deliver safe, cost-effective cuts across every onshore scenario.

01 · Piling

Piling

TorqCut Chopsaws deliver fast, cost-effective pile cutting across onshore and marine-adjacent construction and decommissioning. From tubular steel piles to structural sections, the excavator-mounted tools cut cleanly at or below ground level with no sparks, no heat-affected zone and minimal vibration — ideal for quayside, jetty, bridge and urban piling where access and environmental sensitivity are constrained.

  • Tubular and structural pile cutting from 1" to 32" OD
  • Cuts cleanly at or below ground level
  • Excavator-mounted for rapid setup and repositioning
  • Minimal vibration for urban and sensitive environments
  • No fire risk — engineered cold cutting throughout
  • Remote operated to keep personnel away from the cut face
Nuclear Decommissioning — TorqCut Chopsaw
02 · Nuclear

Nuclear Decommissioning

For nuclear decommissioning, TorqCut delivers controlled, repeatable cold cutting with no sparks, flame or heat-affected zone — critical in sensitive, contamination-controlled environments. Remote operation keeps personnel away from the cut face, while the process handles mixed-material sections including lined, clad and composite assemblies in a single controlled pass, supporting size-reduction and segregation workflows.

  • No sparks, flame or heat-affected zone
  • Remote operated for contamination-controlled areas
  • Handles mixed-material and clad sections
  • Low vibration for structurally sensitive work
  • Repeatable, measurable cut quality for size reduction
  • Supports segregation and waste-stream workflows

03 · Pipeline

Pipeline Decommissioning

TorqCut Chopsaws cut coated, lined and bare pipeline sections cold during decommissioning, modification and maintenance shutdowns. The tools cut adjacent to live services without the risks of hot work, making them ideal for turnarounds and live plant environments. Proven on coated steel gas pipelines — including asbestos-coated sections — TorqCut delivers consistent, measurable cut quality every time.

  • Cold cutting of coated, lined and bare pipelines
  • Proven on asbestos-coated pipe
  • Safe for use adjacent to live services
  • Supports scheduled turnaround and shutdown windows
  • Handles a wide range of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses
  • Clean cuts for weld preparation or disposal
TQ24 cold cutting a wellhead conductor casing — no hot work, remote operated
04 · Wellhead

Wellhead Cutting

TorqCut Chopsaws cut wellhead conductor casings and completions during well abandonment and platform decommissioning. Cold cutting eliminates hot work permits in classified zones, delivering clean, controlled cuts on multi-string concentric assemblies. The tools are proven across single- and multi-string wellhead configurations, handling casing, tubing and conductor pipe in a single operation where required.

  • Multi-string conductor and casing cutting
  • ATEX Zone 1 / Zone 2 compliance — no sparks or heat
  • Suitable for confined and open-access wellhead conditions
  • Preserves scrap alloy value with burr-free cuts
  • Remote operated for enhanced safety
  • Handles concentric assemblies and cemented annuli
Onshore Civils & Demolition — TorqCut Chopsaw
05 · Onshore

Onshore Civils & Demolition

For general civil engineering and demolition work, TorqCut Chopsaws cut structural steel, I-beams, box sections and plate steel with precision. Low noise and vibration make them compliant with urban project requirements, while cold cutting eliminates fire risk on demolition sites. The tools integrate directly into standard excavator-led demolition workflows with no additional power supply or infrastructure required.

  • Structural steel, I-beams, and box section cutting
  • Demolition preparation and controlled removal
  • Bridge retrofit and infrastructure modification
  • Low noise and vibration for urban compliance
  • No fire risk — engineered cold cutting throughout
  • Integrates into existing excavator-led workflows
