C1-16UL Chopsaw
The C1-16 UL Chopsaw is an advanced subsea cutting solution engineered for cutting flexible risers and mooring chains under tension in complex offshore environments, including beneath floating structures, RTMs, and DTMs. Utilising Decom Engineering’s advanced Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) blade, the tool delivers unparalleled speed, precision, and consistency, supporting efficient and reliable cutting operations.
Compact and lightweight in design, the C1-16 UL optimises deck space while maintaining robust performance in challenging subsea conditions. The design reduces the need for frequent blade changes and eliminates the requirement for regular saw recovery, improving operational efficiency during extended subsea campaigns.
