NCA’s Guillotine Saws are world leading in efficient pipe cutting and have an extensive track record for use both in air and sub sea. The Sub Sea Guillotine Saws (SGSs) are operated by a Work ROV and require no additional down-lines or other support from surface, providing maximum flexibility and operational efficiency.
The Sub Sea Guillotine Saw comes in three different sizes covering 5" to 32" OD pipe. Each tool is neutral buoyant sub sea and consists of a hydraulic clamp, reciprocating D-bow with dual saw blades and a patented hydraulic feeding system that allows the saw to work efficiently on any type of steel. All functions are controlled by a work class work ROV.
The smallest SGS is small enough to be deployed already attached to the ROV. The two larger versions are deployed separately in a tool basket and come with a unique, sub sea docking system that enables the ROV to mechanically and hydraulically connect to and control the SGS, sub sea. In addition NCA also has diver installed Guillotine Saws.
