NuWave Industries provides portable waterjet cutting solutions designed for projects where cutting must be performed directly at the job site. Mobile equipment allows technicians to perform controlled cutting on pipelines, tanks, and structural components without removing large sections of infrastructure.
In challenging field conditions far from the shop floor, a portable waterjet cutting machine is the tool of choice for precision, versatility, and safety. Unlike fixed waterjet systems, these mobile waterjet units can be mounted on trailers, skids, or trucks, bringing full high-pressure capabilities directly to the worksite.
A portable waterjet cutting machine uses ultra-high-pressure water — sometimes with abrasive additives — to erode material without imparting heat or mechanical stress. Because it’s a cold cutting process, there’s no heat-affected zone (HAZ), making the method ideal where coatings or nearby systems must be preserved.
In the pipeline, tank, and petroleum industries, portable waterjet cutting machines shine in on-site flange removal, access-hole cutting, pipeline tie-ins, and high-risk zone cutting.

Mobile Waterjet Technology
Portable waterjet cutting uses ultra-high pressure water to cut through steel and industrial materials without generating heat or sparks. This cold-cutting process allows technicians to safely perform cutting operations in industrial environments.
Where Portable Waterjet Cutting Is Used
NuWave technicians regularly perform portable waterjet cutting on industrial pipelines, storage tanks, structural steel components, and demolition projects in remote or confined environments.
Why Contractors Use NuWave
Contractors rely on NuWave for portable waterjet cutting because technicians bring specialized equipment and experience directly to site, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
Insights & Stories
In one coastal decommissioning project, a NuWave crew used a portable waterjet cutting machine to cut through corroded tank walls where conventional torches were prohibited due to fire risk. The job was completed within hours, and inspectors later noted the precision of the edge alignment—no secondary grinding required.
NuWave Welcomes the Future of Well Abandonment
NuWave has acquired Well Armour — a patented, non-toxic barrier solution engineered to solve persistent issues of gas migration and sustained casing pressure. With rapid set times and proven field results, Well Armour delivers what traditional methods can't.
