Underwater Cutting & Removal

Underwater cutting is used when damaged, redundant or unwanted steel structures need to be separated and removed from vessels, ports or other submerged marine installations. The operation may be required during repair work, structural modification, removal of damaged components or dismantling of underwater steel structures.

Our experienced commercial divers carry out controlled underwater cutting operations on vessel hull components, steel plates, brackets, pipes and other submerged structures. Depending on the configuration and condition of the material, the required sections can be cut underwater and prepared for safe recovery or removal from the work area.

A Controlled Approach To Underwater Cutting

Before cutting begins, the structure and surrounding area are inspected to determine the material, dimensions, accessibility and safest cutting sequence. Particular attention is given to nearby hull sections, pipelines, cables and other components that must remain protected during the operation.

Where cutting is required on a vessel, damaged or unnecessary steel sections can be carefully separated from the existing structure as part of repair, replacement or modification work. The cutting process is planned to limit unnecessary damage to surrounding areas and to leave the remaining structure suitable for the next stage of the repair.

Underwater cutting can also be used for the removal of unwanted submerged structures and steel components around ports, piers and marine facilities. Larger sections can be divided into manageable pieces underwater so they can be safely recovered, lifted or removed from the site.

The cutting method and sequence are selected according to the structure, material thickness, working environment and operational requirements of the vessel or facility. Where necessary, the operation can be coordinated with surface lifting and recovery equipment to support the controlled removal of the separated sections.
