Engineered Products designed, built and tested a Combination Prep Tool for pipe severing, pipe end beveling, pipe weld seam removal and epoxy coating removal on varied size oil pipelines at a subsea depth of 10,000 feet. All processes are performed by an ROV submarine with no diver intervention.
Wachs Solution:
Several individually proven machine modules were integrated onto a modular machine platform for remote operation on a pipeline. The system included a clamp feature for transferring the machine along the pipeline axis for tool positioning. A PC operated remote hydraulic machine control was developed to operate all machine operations 10,000 feet below the surface of the sea.
Specifications:
Drive Type: Hydraulic
