UG: Modular 16Te Twin Subsea Pipe Recovery Tool
Unique Group’s Modular 16Te Twin Subsea Pipe Recovery Tool is designed for the controlled lifting and recovery of cut pipeline sections during decommissioning and construction campaigns. The twin-grab configuration enables efficient engagement of single or bundled pipelines, reducing offshore lift cycles and improving campaign productivity.
With a maximum lift capacity of 16 tonnes and compatibility for pipelines up to 36” (915 mm) diameter, the system is engineered for stability, load control and operational reliability in subsea environments.
