Decom Engineering Develops Its Largest Chopsaw Yet for Subsea Pipe Cutting

Northern Ireland-based offshore decommissioning technology firm Decom Engineering said Wednesday it had developed its largest Chopsaw to date in response to client demand for larger-sized subsea pipe-cutting capability.The C1-46 Chopsaw has been designed to cut tubulars and other materials up to 46”, and it can cut a wide range of materials, including inconel alloys, duplex, and concrete.According to Decom Engineering, its new Chopsaw, can be operated in water depths of up to 2,000 meters and is currently deployed on its first project on behalf of a global energy company on a UK North Sea

, is, among other things, focused on the offshore wind-to-hydrogen sector. In this segment of the offshore energy industry, Strohm is developing "safe and dependable" pipeline solutions, where green hydrogen generated at offshore wind turbines can be transported to shore via Strohm’s subsea pipe infrastructure.Thermoplastic Composite Pipes Could Carry Hydrogen Produced Directly at Floating Wind FarmsAccording to Strohm, based in the Netherlands, its Thermoplastic Composite Pipe (TCP) is more cost effective than steel pipe and has c.50% less manufacturing greenhouse gas emissions.

Teledyne TSS Launches New Pipe Tracker

Teledyne Marine division Teledyne TSS has expanded its range of subsea pipe and cable detection and tracking products with the launch of the new smaller HydroPACT 660 pipe tracking system.   The 660 has been designed to help reduce the cost of subsea pipe surveys by allowing the use of smaller classes of underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). In addition, TSS is also expanding the capabilities of its larger HydroPACT 440 pipe tracking system by introducing a new 24VDC upgrade kit.   The new, compact HydroPACT 660 sports a single small form factor coil array measuring 1,200mm x

the ROV.  The CPT-3 features the ability to transit (“walk”) the axis of the pipe with an 8-in. (203mm) stroke, utilizing a caterpillar action of alternating clamps, pushing and pulling between the two. It’s part of a cut, lift, remove and replace system designed to machine subsea pipelines from 12 to 24-in. OD (DN300-600) at depths up to 3,000 meters (9843 sfw). Available soon is the CPT-4, utilizing the same technologies as the CPT- 3 but scaled up in size and capabilities to accommodate pipelines in the 26 to 44-in. OD (DN650-1050) range. The CPT-3 is compact, measuring
