Cold Cutting

Clean Harbors Cold Cutting Services create cleaner, straighter and more precise cuts than conventional cutting methods.  Our experienced technicians use ultra-high pressure water and abrasives to cold cut a range of materials including:

• Steel
• Concrete
• Composites

Cold cutting is an automated technique that produces no heat, eliminating the possibility of costly metal distortion and is spark free, so it is safe to use in explosive areas.  It creates cleaner, straighter cuts and is more environmentally friendly than traditional methods as its byproduct is water, not shavings, dust or oils.

Clean Harbors cold cutting services are excellent for cutting tanks and vessels in order to:

• Gain access for cleaning and maintenance
• Transport larger vessels easier
• Send failed material to the lab for analysis
