Blueroc EDM Cutting Tool with Utility Skid

The Blueroc EDM Cutting Tool is a high accuracy cutting tool for subsea operations. The cutting tool is optimized to perform cutting on subsea clamps drive screw in any material. The EDM tool has the possibility to be set up and perform high precision cutting on any other structure.

The equipment is available as a rental tool and is typical as a contingency tool during installation or intervention on subsea clamps or systems containing a bolted connection.

The Blueroc EDM Cutting Tool has a small footprint once mobilized on the vessel rig, as it is connected as a underslung skid to the WROV and utilities are supplied by the WROV.

Blueroc EDM Cutting Tool includes Depro’s controls and HMI which is easy to operate.
