What we do
Cutting Saw
Our saws are versatile single blade cutters with the ability to clamp and cut a wide range of sizes and materials.
Onshore +
The C1 onshore cutting saws are fully operable from the excavator cab or outside the hazard zone. Not only are the saws faster than other methods, they are also cost effective and much safer. The saws are also capable of cutting a range of material, including thick wall piles and alloys.
Subsea +
Our saws have been deployed on decommissioning and cutting campaigns across the globe. The C1 saw range has been designed to be robust, reliable and effective. All of the saws in the range are both topside or ROV operated, and powered by a standard 45Kw HPU.
Decom Engineering have developed safe and effective cutting equipment for the decommissioning and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines and installations. Cleanly cutting through 2 to 24 inch materials, this cold cutting saw can be deployed and operated within the harshest working conditions, including subsea.
The C1-Chopsaw is a versatile, industry approved, single-blade cutter with the ability to clamp and cut a wide range of sizes with the same saw.
A cost effective, snag free alternative to diamond wire saws, the C1 cutting tool can be used on a wide variety of materials including:
- Mooring chain
- Flexible risers/umbilicals
- Large diameter steel pipe
- Chromium alloy drill pipe
- Rail track
- Inconel pins
- Multi-string casings with grout
Speed
One of the fastest cutting times on the market (8 to 12 minutes on 16” OD, 12mm WT, L80 grade material).
Cut options
- A high speed abrasive cut type for mixed materials e.g. umbilicals
- A low speed high torque TCT milling process (no heat or sparks)
Versatility
One saw can cut a wide array of infrastructure – pipes, drill pipe, conductors, umbilical, chain, wire rope etc.
Clamping system
Our clamping system allows easy movement between cut sizes whilst ensuring the saw is securely fastened to the structure. Our modular design enables a wide range of cut sizes and types.
Safety
The cutting mechanism is enclosed within the machine, ensuring that the hazard zone is inaccessible to operators.
Finish
The saw makes a clean cut through a range of materials, avoiding the crimping effect of such alternatives as hydraulic shears. The pipe is left in optimum condition for reuse.
