CUTTING


Description

Cutting by use of ROV is a safe and cost effective solution for recovery of subsea objects. Typical items may be anchor chains, steel risers and piles, umbilicals, and support structures.

Scope of Work

Due to a magnitude of different objects, locations and operability, a number of diverless subsea cutting options may be chosen from:

  • ROV grinder
  • ROV wire cutters
  • Circular and guillotine saws
  • Diamond wire saw
  • Hydraulic shearer
  • External and internal high pressure grit cutting devices

These tools require mechanical and/or hydraulic interfacing with an ROV. They may be deployed on the ROV or picked up separately on the seafloor.

HSE considerations: Oil and chemical spill control must be taken care of when cutting on old pipelines and umbilicals, etc.

DeepOcean Services

DeepOcean provide project management, operational planning, engineering, mobilization / demobilization, ROV vessel, offshore crew and have the overall responsibility of this operation.
