Underwater Cutting
Unique underwater cutting services for steel and concrete structures, In-Place… Any Place in The World.
Underwater Metal & Concrete Cutting
Underwater cutting requires sophisticated saw systems necessary to handle unique environmental challenges. Whether the project requires shallow cuts utilizing diver assistance or deeper cuts requiring the use of remotely operated vehicles (ROV), we have the best solutions for your needs.
Our Extensive Capabilities
Since the development of our original underwater saw system in 2005, we have designed and deployed over 50 different saw systems to meet specific customer requirements for operations up to 2,000 feet deep.
The mechanical, diver-friendly remote-operated saw yield faster, spark-free results, making them an ideal replacement for thermal cutting methods. Vibration-free, the saws produce smooth cut edges. Additionally, they are easily converted to remotely operated vehicle (ROV) use, eliminating the need for divers, and generating a dramatic improvement in safety.
