Diamond Wire Cutting, Drilling and Precision Removal on Land and Undersea

Solutions

Diamond Wire Concrete & Metal Cutting

Every concrete cutting job is unique. That’s why our engineering team develops a coordinated, visually-delineated plan to be followed on the job site to maximize efficiency while minimizing completion time.

Component Segmentation

We have cut several steam generators and related heavy components over the past twelve years. As we continue to innovate changes in diamond wire cutting, the efficiency of SG segmentation is rapidly growing.

Underwater Cutting

No two metal cutting projects are the same. But whether the project involves slicing metal tanks above ground, or cleaving conductor pipes or platform legs undersea, the diamond wire cutting process is ideal.

Specialty Drilling, Cutting & Robotic Demolition

We specialize in developing unique solutions for unusual drilling, cutting, and robotic demolition. Including intricate drilling, mechanical penetrations new or existing facilities, and demolition robots for hazardous working environments.
