Unveiling the C1-10 Chopsaw
Decom’s most compact sized saw to date is here!
The C1-10 Chopsaw has been expertly designed to handle the deamanding task of cutting pipe and mooring chain under tension. Equipped with Decom’s standard Tungsten Carbide Tipped (TCT) blade, the C1-10 ensures that each cut is not only fast but exceptionally clean and precise.
The new tool is deployed by ROV Manipulator or ROV Basket and allows you to cut in those hard to reach places.
The result is a more efficient, reliable cutting process no matter the location, keeping your subsea opertions running smoothly.

ROV Deployment: The equipment can be easily deployed by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) manipulator or basket, eliminating the need for a crane and enabling access to challenging locations.
Quick Blade Changes: Blade changes are fast and efficient, taking only 5
minutes, which minimises downtime and maximises productivity.
Crane-Free Operation: Cuts can be performed in areas where crane access is not possible, offering greater versatility and adaptability in subsea operations.
