Project Overview

Decom Engineering was commissioned by Allseas to design and deliver a cutting solution tailored specifically for the decommissioning of steel conductors at the Brent Charlie platform. The custom-designed C1-32-101 Chopsaw was created for this project, handling 30" OD conductors containing internal flexi pipelines. The saw was neutrally buoyant and flown into position by a single ROV.

Key Highlights

  • Custom C1-32-101 engineered specifically for this project
  • Neutrally buoyant saw flown into position by single ROV
  • Successfully cut conductor angled at 30 degrees where others failed
