Pipeline Decommissioning
Cold cutting coated, lined and mixed-material pipelines during decommissioning and shutdowns.
Overview
How TorqCut is Used for 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
