The Coating Removal Tool (CRT) removes all types of protective coatings including concrete weight coat, epoxy, bitumen and FBE on subsea pipelines and platform jacket members. The system utilises high-pressure water, with the capacity to clean structures with diameters of 152mm to 1500mm. The CRT is controlled via a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system, with underwater cameras and related technologies giving real-time information in graphical format for topside teams. Two opposing high-pressure water jets sweep and clean the product while linear, rotational, nozzle standoff and sweep speeds are controlled topside by Ashtead Technology personnel.
