Rotech Subsea is set to deploy a new RS1 excavation tool for the recently secured harbour clearance work scope in UK.
The RS1 excavation tool has been specially adapted by the Aberdeen group’s on-site fabrication unit, Rotech Fabrication, to meet demand from Port Authorities for excavating difficult to access areas, such as underneath pontoons or piers, the company said.
“ We are delighted to mobilize our new RS1 tool on this harbour clearance scope, ” said Steve Cochrane Rotech’s director of Subsea. “We have been in dialogue with a number of key Port Authorities recently and our in-house Engineering and Fabrication division have subsequently developed, built and tuned a tool to meets their requirements.
“It’s a great example of the flexibility of the RS design,” added Cochrane. “But also a great demonstration of the group’s ability to work closely with clients to produce bespoke tools to meet their subsea needs.
“A well-earned reputation in this area is seeing us receive a steady stream of enquiries not just from Port Authorities, but from companies across the oil & gas, renewables, decommissioning and energy sectors.”
The RS1 will mobilize for the undisclosed UK Port Authority client in the coming weeks.
