HGG Cutting Services
Pipe cutting services
Description
With four decades of expertise and a wide array of HGG machinery, we excel in shaping various materials for industries such as infrastructure, crane construction, offshore wind, process industry, and steel construction.
We can cut any desired shape in different material types, offering additional features like miters, saddles, holes, and slots for pipe-to-pipe and pipe-plate connections upon request. Our precise welding preparations, including AWS cuts and tapering, can be executed at angles up to 70°.
Additionally, we can add necessary reference lines and footprint markings on the pipes to meet specific requirements.

HGG is active in various industries and takes a lot of manual work off your hands by cutting a wide variety of profiles, making it an extension of your workshop.
Tailor-made for all your profiles
With our advanced software, we cut any desired shape, resulting in less fit time, welding volume and welding time. You will receive a complete construction kit from us, including the desired welding pre-treatment and any markings and fit lines.
Our 4-step process
We take the weight of your shoulders with a simple and clear 4-step process that ensures quick delivery and meets the highest industry standards.
Specialized advice in advance
From our 40 years of 3D profiling experience, we know that every cut can be different. We assist you in the preparation of your project. From engineering, to welding details to optimizing material usage.
Get your quote
Based on your data, preferably in STEP format, we send you a tailored project quote within a few days of your request. If you regularly outsource projects with us, we are eager to take it a step further by establishing a partnership. Assuring you with production capacity and price stability.
Start Work Preparation & Production
After receiving your final models and material we will prepare cutting files using our ProCAM software. Once these files are ready production will be started at our production facility using the machine which suits best to the materials that need to be cut.
Pick-up or get your shipment delivered
After completion of the cutting job, you will receive a message that your materials are ready to be picked up. If you need us to deliver the materials to your site we will make those arrangements.
'Once you've used scribing, there's no doubt you'll use it again.You know that it fits and the chance of failures is almost zero.'

Our additional services
Additional Holes and Slots
In addition to the final cuts, we can add holes and slots for various applications. These can also be prepared with the desired welding preparations, such as a ½ V-groove or X/K-groove.
Adding Reference lines and Markings
Our machines can apply reference lines and footprint markings using either a needle or plasma. This not only speeds up fitting time but also ensures higher quality. By incorporating these markings into your engineering plans beforehand, we can replicate them directly in our production process.
Certified for Re-marking
We are certified by Lloyd’s Register Nederland B.V. to transfer markings and numbers and issue inspection reports 3.1 and 3.2 in accordance with EN 10204:2004.
Delivery, Storage & Transport
Materials are usually delivered to us by you or your supplier. We have a large storage area capable of accommodating large-diameter and long-length material. However, we can also arrange transportation for you, ensuring materials are picked up and returned to the desired location. We partner with a transportation provider who offers daily services both within the Netherlands and internationally.
Our accreditations and memberships
Our drawing guidelines
We are flexible with our drawing guidelines; however, we do prefer the options listed below for a speedy process. If you have a different file format or need assistance in preparing your files, feel free to contact our team.
STEP (3D)
We convert STEP files into cutting files with HGG’s ProCAM. Our system reads STEP files in freeform shapes without relying on macros, providing you with design freedom.
- For round tube: Closed Contour
- For square tube: Inside radius + Wall thickness = Outside radius
- Parts must contain only one solid
- No root faces <2mm
- No gradient root face
DSTV (2D)
No extra post-processor is required because HGG’s ProCAM can import and read data for DSTV (NC/NC1) files. Enriched files, with a 3rd party post-processor are also possible.
- Possible for Beams
- Possible for Box
- Possible for Profiles
- Not possible for Pipes
