Pipetech have developed the ultimate remediation cleaning system for subsea pipelines, manifold and trees. The Deep Water Cleaning System (DWCS) is a compact technology, one that will set an entirely new global standard for subsea cleaning operations.

The DWCS comprises a range of topside and subsea equipment to remediate subsea scale, wax and other foulant removal. This high pressure water supply from topside is routed via a high-pressure downline to the DWCS and out through a specialised nozzle at the end of a feeder hose. A subsea guide frame can be used if required to locate the DWCS on a manifold or it can simply sit on the sea bed deployable from any vessel.
