Do you own the cold cutting machines you supply to Abqaiq?

Yes. Spark-free cutting and bevelling · hot work permit avoidance — held in our own fleet at Al Khobar, not brokered from another yard. That is what lets us give you a date and keep it.

Can you supply crews with the equipment in Abqaiq?

Yes. Pipeline welders, pipe fitters, riggers, QA/QC inspectors, heavy equipment operators and safety officers come from our own manpower division on the same commercial registration, so the equipment and the crew are on one contract and one invoice. On pipeline work certification currency is usually the binding constraint, so tell us the standard your client requires at enquiry stage.

Bending & Cutting work in Abqaiq

Abqaiq work is overwhelmingly tie-ins and replacement sections into a live crude system, which makes cold cutting the default and the demagnetizer the item people forget. Both belong in the same enquiry, because you will need the second one about an hour after you need the first.

The permit argument, which is usually the real argument

In an operating plant in Jubail or at Ras Tanura, a hot work permit in a hydrocarbon area can take longer to obtain than the work takes to do, and during a shutdown the permit queue is the critical path for everyone. Cold cutting takes the ignition source out of the job, which changes what permit is required and often removes the dependency entirely. Contractors who cost cold cutting against a saw or a torch on hire rate alone are measuring the wrong thing — the saving is in the schedule, not the rate.
