COMPANY OVERVIEW & BACKGROUND - Group Profile
TS Tecnospamec was established in Genoa, Italy, in 1981. Its role, to perform advanced research and development projects leading to the deployment and operation of the new technologies for deepwater engineering projects offering support to the offshore and maritime industries.
Diamond Wire Cutting System - In 1991 Tecnospamec, developed the Diamond Wire Cutting System, a high efficiency, patented system, for the cutting of underwater structures using a specially designed Diamond Wire Thereafter the CUT (Cutting Underwater Technologies) Group of companies, headquartered in Aberdeen, Scotland, was established by Tecnospamec in 1999. Their mission? To offer a range of services that utilised the advanced DWCS (Diamond Wire Cutting System(s)) developed by Tecnospamec. The primary focus for the new technologies was the platform and pipeline decommissioning markets, initially in the North Sea and later into other key oil producing regions around the world. Expansion has seen the diamond wire systems used on: Platform Topsides, Onshore Pipelines, Refining and other industrial applications, The Nuclear Industry.
The System has been extensively used in cutting jacket legs, thereby allowing offshore structures to be removed, subsea pipelines and conductors have also be severed with maximum efficiency and unsurpassed cost competitiveness.
Once positioned on to the structure that is to be cut, the DWCM uses its own hydraulic clamping system to lock itself in place. All operational functions of the DCWM can be controlled either from the surface using a stand alone Hydraulic Power Unit, Control Panel, Umbilical and Spooler or by utilising a WROV’s own hydraulic supply. It can be seen therefore that the system is 100% safe for the operator who controls the wire speed, working pressures and flow rates required for maximum cutting efficiency remote from the actual cutting operation.
CUT now boast substantial experience in this key technology within the Offshore Structure
Management & Abandonment sectors. Such has been the success of the patented DWC technology available through CUT that the group now has operational bases in Norway, Singapore, Brazil and the United States.
The Group markets and operate the Tecnospamec Diamond Wire Cutting System worldwide and is actively involved in major international decommissioning projects both on and offshore.
