UNDERWATER CUTTING
IN THE NORTH SEA

Black Mamba for the decommissioning of an offshore oil platform under demanding time constraints.

The Project

A demanding offshore operation.

A Diamond Service customer was involved in the decommissioning of an offshore oil platform in the North Sea. With a demanding project schedule, the cutting operations required a diamond wire capable of combining reliability with high cutting speed.

CHALLENGE

Time was critical.

The customer needed to perform underwater cutting operations as part of the platform dismantling process. With tight deadlines, cutting speed was a key requirement for the project.

SOLUTION

Black Mamba, configured for the job.

Diamond Service selected Black Mamba and configured the wire specifically for this application at 48 beads per metre. The high bead concentration was chosen to provide the cutting performance required for this demanding subsea operation.

RESULT

A solution built around the application.

The dedicated Black Mamba configuration provided the customer with the solution needed to tackle the underwater cutting operation within the project's demanding timeframe.

Project configuration

One wire. Configured around the challenge.

Special Demolition Applications

When the application changes, the wire changes with it.

Black Mamba can be configured around reinforcement level, material and operating environment, extending diamond-wire cutting into applications beyond conventional demolition.
