ABOUT HYDRO JET AND COLD CUTTING
Specialised Services
Our specialised high and ultra-high pressure (UHP) hydro-jetting and cutting services have been developed for the heavy industry and utility sectors.
Our experienced team will work with each customer to determine the best method and tailor services to match customer needs. This includes providing a safe alternative to remote operations, where required, and ensuring the project is completed safely and efficiently to pass inspection first time.
Where the potential presence of hydrocarbons rules out hot works, Contract Resources has the ability to use high pressure water as a safe cutting method. Cold cutting is highly effective for cutting steel, composites and almost any other hard material.
Cold cutting also reduces dust, cutting oils, vibrations and waste products, while preventing mechanical or thermal stress on plant and equipment.

Additional Information
High Performance Equipment
Our advanced high performance high and ultra-high pressure water jetting equipment are designed to safely deliver services. Designing and investing in innovative cleaning and coatings-removal attachments, safety back-out preventers, and automatic internal and external remote tube bundle cleaners ensures safe operator positioning and maximum cleaning efficiency.
Our fleet of pumps range from 3,000 – 50,000psi, and we have maintenance facilities in all main centres to ensure reliability and optimum performance of all equipment. We can also supply a range of purpose-built offshore equipment to meet the offshore oil and gas industry specifications and requirements. Our professional approach to equipment presentation and maintenance means all pump rigs are fully stocked and setup to respond quickly to client demands.
Experienced operators ensure the optimum method selection for each application applying specialised tooling, job-matched lances and nozzles, and automated equipment to ensure every project is completed in record time and passes inspection first time.
Cold Cutting
In situations where a risk of hydrocarbons being present rules out any hot cutting, we have the capability to use high pressure water as a safe cutting method.
Cold cutting is often used for the demolition of plant facilities, providing access to tanks and columns, removing refractory; both internal and external, concrete cutting and scabbling, and surface preparation through coatings removal.
Cold cutting is highly effective for cutting steel, composites, and almost any other hard material. Additionally, using cold cutting reduces dust, cutting oils, vibrations, and waste products, while preventing mechanical or thermal stress. This ecologically sound solution is very precise, and our expert technicians can create systems to handle any cold cutting task.
