Abrasive cutting equipment for every application
Our market-leading cutting solutions draw on two decades of experience in specialist cutting projects and manipulator design and development.
About
Diamond wire saws
Diamond wire saws perform efficient underwater cutting on pipes, piles, multi-string casings and wellheads. They can be complemented with a wider platform decommissioning package.
Due to the configuration of the wire blade, diamond wire saws suffer less blade trapping than bandsaws or reciprocating saws. A cut confirmation system notifies the user as soon as the cut is successful.
In combination with other recovery equipment, subsea diamond wire machines are integral to the turnkey cutting and recovery solution we offer for decommissioning projects.
- Can be diver- or ROV-operated
- Can be supplied on a flexible rental basis, with or without personnel
Hydraulic shear cutters
Our hydraulic shear cutter boasts an impressive 1,600 tons of shear force and can handle a wide variety of materials. We developed it by recording tangible data on material specifications to fully qualify its cutting capabilities.
Hydraulic shears are highly effective and efficient when used as part of a decommissioning package where cutting and recovery equipment are used together.
The innovative design draws the material into the jaws where the shear force is greatest, making hydraulic shear cutters extremely efficient.
- Suitable for offshore, onshore and topside use
