# Cold Cutting for Hazardous Industrial Areas: Why It Changes Maintenance Planning

Discover why water jet cold cutting is preferred in hazardous areas where hot work adds risk, delay or shutdown constraints.

## Why cold cutting stands out

Cold cutting with ultra high-pressure water eliminates the spark and heat issues that make traditional cutting risky in hydrocarbon environments. That matters during modifications, nozzle removal, flange work and structural dismantling.

## The maintenance advantage

Teams can work with more flexibility in sensitive areas, reduce heat affected zones and often shorten the preparation requirements associated with hot work permits.

## Typical industrial applications

Storage tanks, crude lines, gas lines, cooling water systems and steel structures are all common applications where cold cutting brings safety and execution advantages.

## Commercial value for clients

Clients do not buy cold cutting just because it is innovative. They buy it because it reduces risk, protects assets and can materially shorten shutdown windows.
