Subsea and topside cutting services for offshore infrastructure

Fairtex Group provides subsea and topside cutting services for offshore oil and gas infrastructure, maintenance campaigns and decommissioning projects. With extensive offshore intervention experience, Fairtex delivers cutting solutions for pipelines, structures, casings and subsea assets operating in shallow and deepwater environments.

Our cutting services combine specialized diamond wire cutting systems, mechanical cutting tools and abrasive water jet technologies to support safe, controlled and operationally efficient intervention activities. Services are delivered using diver-operated systems, surface-powered equipment and ROV-compatible technologies for challenging offshore applications.

Typical applications: subsea pipeline cutting, conductor sectioning, topside structural removal, offshore decommissioning, casing cutting, underwater intervention and abrasive cutting of steel and concrete structures.

What this service covers

Diamond wire cutting services

Fairtex provides diamond wire cutting services for offshore structures, pipelines and subsea assets. The cutting systems are capable of operating from the surface to depths of 200 metres or deployed below 200 metres using work-class ROV systems. The technology supports cutting in restricted spaces and is suitable for complex offshore intervention projects.

Mechanical and abrasive water jet cutting

Our capabilities include mechanical cutting systems for pipe diameters ranging from 1 inch to 80 inches and abrasive water jet cutting solutions for steel, concrete and mixed-material structures. Abrasive water jet systems provide cold-cutting capability and are suitable for EX and ATEX-certified offshore environments.

Casing securing and conductor sectioning

Fairtex supports casing securing operations including drilling, pinning and lifting services together with multiple casing cutting and conductor sectioning for offshore well abandonment and decommissioning projects.

Key Takeaways

  • Integrated subsea and topside cutting services for offshore infrastructure.
  • Diamond wire, mechanical and abrasive water jet cutting capability.
  • ROV-compatible cutting systems for deepwater offshore intervention.
  • Supports conductor sectioning, casing cutting and offshore decommissioning activities.
