Cold Cutting Services for Storage Tanks
At Tanqeb, we specialize in cold cutting solutions to safely and efficiently address storage tank damage, even when the tank remains full of hazardous or flammable products. Using advanced anti-explosion cutting technologies, such as water jet cutting or specialized cold cutting equipment, we provide a safe, non-thermal approach to cutting or repairing storage tanks in critical conditions.
What is Cold Cutting?
Cold cutting refers to cutting processes that do not generate heat, sparks, or flames. This method is particularly vital in environments where flammable products, vapors, or hazardous substances are present, as it eliminates the risk of ignition or explosion. Our cold cutting services are suitable for a wide range of materials, including steel, concrete, and composite structures.
When is Cold Cutting Necessary?
Cold cutting is essential in situations where:
- A damaged storage tank is filled with flammable or hazardous products.
- Hot work (such as welding or torch cutting) poses safety risks due to the presence of flammable vapors.
- The cutting or dismantling of a structure needs to be performed with precision and safety.
- Environmental protection is a priority, preventing contamination from heat-related processes.
