Cutting Underwater Technologies Ltd

Cutting Underwater Technologies has more than 20 years’ experience in providing both “off the shelf” and “bespoke” diamond wire-cutting solutions the Oil & Gas, Nuclear, Renewables and Decommissioning Industries globally. From our bases in Aberdeen, Stavanger, Houma, LA, Rio de Janeiro and Singapore, the CUT Group has successfully performed more than 6000 cuts, including, involvement in the removal of 118 platforms and 195 pipeline, not to mention an array of other targets as diverse as multi-strings, chains, drill strings, risers, monopile’s, guideposts, pipes and shipwrecks! The CUT Group offers both “off the shelf” and “bespoke” diamond wire cutting solutions. In addition to our existing fleet of more than 180 diamond wire tools ranging from 5.5” to 150” cutting capacity CUT regularly provides clients with bespoke solutions. Our diamond wire cutting machines are not constrained by water depth. They can be surface powered down to 200m. Below 200m, our deepest cut to date being more than 2,745m in the Gulf of Mexico, DWCM’s are powered by WROV either via “hot stabs” or 6m long umbilical. In the nuclear sector we have gained valuable experience of using both our diamond wire cutting machines and our plasma cutting machines on a variety of targets. The Plasma Machines can also be set up to incorporate a dedicated clamping system to fix onto and support the piece which will be cut free.
