Decom Engineering has secured a U.S. patent for its Chopsaw cutting technology, an advancement that strengthens its presence in the onshore and subsea industrial cutting sector. The approval protects key elements of its system, including the linear drive, modular configuration, and adaptable clamping mechanisms.

In addition, this recognition in the U.S. market confirms the solution’s technical robustness, in an environment where intellectual property standards are particularly stringent.

Linear cutting technology improves precision and control

The system developed by Decom Engineering introduces a different approach compared to traditional saws. Instead of using rotary or pivoting movements, it employs a linear drive that guides the blade directly over the material.

Thanks to this design, greater control during the cutting process is achieved, resulting in more consistent and reliable outcomes. Likewise, the controlled interaction between the blade and the surface enables cleaner cuts in complex structures.

Modular design facilitates field operations

The patent also protects a modular system that integrates the motor, blade, and drive components into a single assembly. This configuration allows parts to be disassembled or replaced directly on site, reducing maintenance time and improving operational efficiency.

Similarly, the technology includes adaptable clamping systems capable of working with different materials and diameters, from umbilical cables to large mooring chains. This versatility expands its use across multiple industrial applications.

International expansion and consolidation in key sectors

Headquartered in Aberdeen and founded in 2011, Decom Engineering has participated in more than 150 projects, with a complete track record of successful subsea cutting operations. Its technology is applied in industries such as oil and gas, renewable energy, and infrastructure, where precision and safety are decisive factors.

Validation in the United States strengthens its expansion in this market and consolidates its recognition among international clients.
