The C1-16UL
Setting New Standards in Ultra Lightweight Subsea Operations
C1-12 Chopsaw
Unveiling the C1-16 UL
Enhancing Efficiency with Advanced Lightweight Engineering
Launching in September 2024, the C1-16 UL embodies Decom Engineering’s foremost innovation in subsea cutting technology. Specifically engineered to cut flexible risers and mooring chains under tension beneath floating structures, RTM, and DTMs, this chopsaw utilizes the advanced Decom Engineering TCT blade. It delivers unparalleled speed, precision, and consistency in cuts, minimizing the need for frequent blade changes and eliminating the requirement for regular saw recovery.
Designed for optimal efficiency and reliability, the C1-16 UL is compact and lightweight, optimizing deck space while delivering robust performance in challenging subsea environments.
Benefits
High Efficiency and Cost Savings:
Each blade can perform between 20 to 100 cuts, depending on the application, significantly reducing operational costs and enhancing efficiency.
Versatile Cutting Orientations:
Capable of making cuts in any orientation, providing unparalleled flexibility in diverse operational scenarios.
ROV Maneuverability:
Easily maneuvered by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), the C1-16 UL eliminates the need for crane support, enabling access to challenging subsea locations.
Quick Blade Changes:
Blade changes are swift and efficient, requiring only 5 minutes, minimizing downtime and maximising productivity during operations.
Crane-Free Operation:
Enables cuts in areas inaccessible to cranes, enhancing operational adaptability and versatility.
Uses
- Mooring chains (in tension or slack)
- Flexible risers (in tension or slack)
- Restricted crane access cutting
- Flexible flowlines
- Carbon steel pipe
- PU coated pipe
- Super duplex Inconels
Features
0” to 16” Cutting Capacity:
Handles materials ranging from zero to sixteen inches in diameter, accommodating a wide range of cutting requirements with precision.
Fast and Precise Cuts:
Delivers rapid and accurate cuts, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing project timelines.
Handles up to 150mm Mooring Chain:
Capable of cutting mooring chains up to 150mm in diameter, ensuring reliability and performance in critical offshore applications.
Operable from Topside or by ROV:
Designed for flexible deployment options, allowing operation from the surface or through remote operation by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV).
Integrated Buoyancy for Enhanced Subsea Maneuverability:
Features integrated buoyancy to facilitate maneuverability and stability during cutting operations in subsea environments.
Comprehensive Spares Package Included:
Comes with a robust shipping cage containing a comprehensive range of spare parts, ensuring minimal downtime and uninterrupted operations.
