More than a decade ago, D.E.C.O. NV started building and testing the first cutting spread based on the injection technology. Now, five professional and fully optimized spreads are in service around the world. With nozzle pressures up to 3000 bar (43500 psi), our company offers a powerful, safe and environmental friendly cutting technique to our clients onshore and offshore, above and under water.

The track record of our company proves our know how as abrasive water jet cutting specialist.

The advantages of this cutting technology are:

1) Flexibility

• Independent of material (steel, (reinforced) concrete, wood, glass, sandwich structures,...)
• Umbilical lengths of 150 meters and more
• Cutting is possible in all positions
• The cutting tool is small, making cutting possible in very narrow spaces
• Any kind of shapes can be cut
• In house design and can be build according to the specifications of the client

 2) High Performance

• 100mm high tensile steel and 1200mm highly reinforced concrete in one cutting operation
• Minimum cutting kerf smaller than 2mm
• Cold cutting process: no thermal and mechanical stresses at the cutting or breaking edges

3) Safe process

• Excellent remote control capabilities and thus a diverless operation
• Cutting without any contact to the cutting tool during operation and thus at minimum risk
• Visual control by camera or by recording and monitoring the cutting noise
• No explosion risk

4) Environmental friendly technique

• Minimum loss of material compared with other cutting techniques
• Dust and gas free cutting
• No vibrations
• Only uses water and natural mineral as abrasive
