Client Requirement to Perform Wire Saws

The client wanted an efficient solution for cutting multi-string casings, pilings and other rounds/square objects during the platform decommissioning. We understood the requirement and recommended the Diamond Wire Saws which are an essential tool for slot recovery and abandonment operations. The client accepted this suggestion, and we provided a range of saws and experienced personnel to handle the project.
