A Co Tyrone company specialising in dismantling oil and gas facilities have said they will complete £2m of work in the North Sea, the Gulf of Mexico and South America before the end of the year.
Decom produces cold-cutting saws which are used to cut through pipes up to 46 inches thick. Their saws are often used under the sea.
The company is headquartered in Cookstown and also has a base in Aberdeen.
It has recently completed a project in the North Sea where it was removing conductors offshore.
The firm is preparing to undertake three cutting jobs off the coast of Western Australia, cutting mooring chains, removing webbing and “performing 850 cuts on an 8 inch multi-layer flexible flowline.”
Decom are also working for 40 days in the Gulf of Mexico to “sever” sections of a tension leg platform, and are preparing to start on a 10-month job in South America that will see them cut link mooring chains.
