“Hot Coils helped us achieve our mandate of improved safety and weld quality by eliminating torches during the preheat process”
Scott Carter
Quality Control Manager
Cryogenic Construction Inc.
Mingo Junction, OH
Established in 1978 Cryogenic Construction Inc. operates from a 40,000 sq. ft. facility located in Mingo Junction OH providing their customers state of the art technologies with on time deliveries. Cryogenic Construction is an industry leader in the complete fabrication, assembly testing and field installation of packaged process modules.
“Hot Coils helped us achieve our mandate of improved safety and weld quality by eliminating torches during the preheat process”. Cryogenic Construction has been using both 6 inch and 10 inch coils to preheat pipe joints prior to welding. “Not only have we seen an improvement in weld quality”, stated Mr. Carter, “but because we can preheat joints in advance we have also seen an improvement in welding productivity.” Mr. Carter went on to state, “the welders really liked them when they realized they could go to lunch or on break and the joint temperature would stay consistent.”
Cryogenic Construction even found a secondary use of the Hot Coils in assembling packing in vessels. “ We had a problem where we would occasionally jam the packing on assembly”, said Mr. Carter, “we found we could use the Hot Coils to heat the vessel, expanding the material, allowing the packing to be installed correctly without binding.”
“We’re not only pleased with the product but also with the company” said Mr. Carter. “We had one small issue with one of the coils and it was rectified immediately”, he stated.

“We embrace any new technology that’s designed to
increase our efficiency and reduce cost to our
customers”
R. Underhill
Area Construction Manager
Alstom Power Thermal Services
Edmonton, AB, Canada
Alstom has been using several 10 inch Hot Coils to preheat heavy wall schedule 80
high chrome pipes for a number of customers.
We embrace any new technology that’s designed to increase our efficiency and
reduce costs to our customers and we have found significant savings in using Hot
Coils compared to using outside heating services.
The key difference is in cost of operation. The Hot Coils require minimummobilization and only a 15 amp, 110 VAC circuit where traditional heat-treating equipment requires 480 / 600 VAC and significantly higher installation costs.We have also realized savings in downtime between activities as well as travel andother costs associated with bringing a sub contractor to remote areas.
The Alstom Group is a global leader in the world of power generation, power
transmission and rail infrastructure. The Group employs 93,000 people in more than
70 countries, and had sales of over €23 billion* in 2009/10.
“They’ve (Hot Coils) allowed us to take control of our
heating costs”
Hugh O’Neill
Piping Superintendent
Fort Saskatchewan, AB
“I’ve used the coils in several fabrication shops and have found we were easily able reach and hold the temperatures our spec.’s called for”, stated piping superintendent Mr. O’Neil. Mr. O’Neil, who has worked on several projects for companies such as Nova Corp, Esso Resources Ltd. as well as Siedlitz Engineering and Niko Resources on overseas projects in Egypt and Bangladesh said, “We’ve run them (Hot Coils) on everything from standard carbon to heavy wall chrome.”
“They’ve allowed us to take control of our heating costs by doing the heating with our own personnel which has resulted in major savings. Also because we weren’t waiting for a 3rd party heating service to arrive, productivity also improved. We found that we could have several joints heating in advance which maximized our welder’s stick time.”
“Considering the cost savings and production efficiency gains not to
mention the improvement in weld quality and jobsite safety, the coils have
just been a win, win product for us.
“Having used Hot Coils® we can definitely see
the safety advantages …”
Monti Regan, President / Owner, Monti’s Industrial Welding Services
Alberta, Canada
“Having used the Hot Coils® we can definitely see the cost savings and safety advantages of using this product. It’s a relief not having to continually lug heavy propane bottles around the workplace or have the constant fear of welding around pressurized propane gas with the potential of a fire or explosion.
Also having several joints preheated beforehand is an added bonus and will help keep us more competitive and in compliance with QA /QC.
We see a great advantage to using this product and would recommend Hot Coils® to all contractors in the piping or industrial service industry.”

“We had scheduled 8 weeks to complete the work and finished it in 12 days.”
Wally Middleton, HSE Manager
Goal Projects Ltd., Edmonton, Alberta
We were overwhelmingly surprised by the efficiency and cost effectiveness use of the Hot Coils® product for the hydrogen d-gassings of the Talisman Minehead Pipeline. We had scheduled 8 weeks to complete the work and finished it in 12 days. The ease of use and mobility make this product a valuable asset to pipeline contractors and owner companies that need to perform preheat and bake out of pipe.
Besides the quality control of the product, there is an excellent aspect of safety and control. We did not have a need for open flames, or propane. Besides the pipeline this was especially great for our facilities work, no safety issues. 110 power @ 15amps, right off our welding rigs.
