What We Do

Core Capabilities

01
Wreck Wire Sawing

Controlled dismantling of sunken vessels using diamond wire saws. Cuts through steel hull plating, frames and structural members with precision — minimising environmental disturbance and enabling controlled lift operations.

Steel / Cast Iron / Alloy
02
Subsea Concrete Cutting

Wire saw cutting of reinforced concrete structures, bridge piers, quay walls and caissons below the waterline. Capable of cutting sections for controlled crane lifts or in-situ fragmentation.

Reinforced Concrete
03
Pile & Jacket Cutting

Removal of offshore piles, monopiles and jacket structures. Wire saw operations allow precise below-mudline cuts — meeting decommissioning requirements without explosive techniques.

Offshore Decommissioning
04
Harbour Clearance

Emergency and planned removal of obstructions in port fairways, berths and navigational channels. Fast mobilisation with specialist vessels and dive support for time-critical operations.

Emergency Response
05
ROV-Assisted Operations

ROV survey and inspection prior to wire saw deployment. Detailed site assessment, wire placement verification and real-time monitoring throughout cutting operations.

Survey / Inspection
06
Salvage Support

Integrated wire saw cutting as part of broader salvage operations. Works alongside crane barges, salvage tugs and wreck removal contractors — cutting to specification for lift plans and float-off operations.

Methodology

How We Operate

01

Project Assessment

Preliminary review of site conditions, structural data and operational constraints. We provide a written scope assessment and indicative cost range — typically within 48 hours of receiving documentation.

02

ROV Survey & Planning

Pre-operation ROV inspection to confirm structural condition, sediment levels and wire saw access points. Survey data informs the cut sequence and equipment configuration.

03

Wire Saw Deployment

Diamond wire rigged through the target structure by surface divers or ROV, depending on depth and conditions. Wire saw unit mounted on vessel or pontoon. Cutting commences under continuous monitoring.

04

Section Removal

Cut sections prepared for crane lift, tow-out or in-situ deposition as specified by the salvage plan. Full documentation and as-executed reporting provided on completion.
