TRACS-16 Twin Recovery & Cutting System
The TRACS-16 (Twin Recovery & Cutting System) is a modular subsea tool engineered to combine cutting, lifting, and recovery into a single efficient solution for pipeline and flowline operations. Designed to cut and recover pipelines up to 16” in diameter and sections up to 20 metres in length (with custom sizes available), the system supports controlled and efficient subsea intervention.
Ideal for decommissioning operations, the crane-deployable TRACS-16 enables recovered sections to be safely returned to deck or relocated into a subsea basket, reducing handling complexity and improving operational efficiency during offshore recovery campaigns.
