Oil & Gas

Pipelines are an important part of the worldwide energy transport for gas and oil. Especially pipeline maintenance is important to maintain the quality of a pipeline and all components. Corrosion is the number one enemy of a pipeline, this involves careful inspection and in case of problems a professional procedure of pipeline cutting and pipeline welding process. Best practice is the use of “cold cutting”, to cut the pipe without the use of “hot cutting” methods with torches and flames. Another big advantage to cold cutting compared to thermal cutting is to avoid the creation Heat Affected Zone (HAZ), which is harmful for the structure of the material.
