PVL promptly removed the sheet pile walls at Brunsbüttel Sea Lock

A five-month project

During this project, the PVL underwater cutting torch was used to remove the head gates of the new sea lock in Brunsbüttel. These gates had originally been installed to facilitate the construction of the lock.

The cutting work takes place at a depth of approximately 20 meters underwater, and divers spend about five months carefully cutting away the steel gates. Once this will be completed, the new lock doors can be installed. After that, the lock can be put into operation, allowing shipping traffic to pass through freely again.

Precision and Reliability in drilling platform decommissioning

During an offshore decommissioning project at a drilling platform in Malaysia, the advanced Underwater Cutting Torch was successfully deployed. Using the advanced PVL cutting torch, the robust platform legs were efficiently cut (by divers) at depths reaching 45 meters below sea level. Over a continuous seven-day period, the Cutting Torch operated around the clock, 24 ho...

Efficiently removing sheet piles underwater

At the Afsluitdijk in the Netherlands, work is progressing on a large-scale water safety project. In this project, the PVL Underwater Cutting Torch enables the precise cutting and removal of existing sheet piles underwater at a depth of 12 meters. These sheet piles were originally installed to facilitate the construction of new discharge sluices. Once the sluices are co...
