Waterjet Subsea Testing

Bekkala Engineering is able to offer a variety of waterjet capabilities including cutting underwater, research and development, tooling, and testing courtesy of Jude Lague.

Waterjet Research & Development Project

  • Internal MSC

    BE developed equipment and tooling to perform this internal AWJ Multi-String Cut (MSC).

  • Subsea AWJ

    Customer wanted to demonstrate their equipment capability for subsea waterjet cutting. BE developed ambient pressure and linear motion control in a laboratory setting to perform many tests simulating depths up to 4000ft.

  • CWC blasting

    A customer wanted to demonstrate their equipment capability to remove concrete weight coating (CWC) at depth via waterjet blasting. BE designed, built and ran test equipment in 3 months. All tasks were performed within a pressure vessel including linear motion, sample rotation, waterjet parameter control and visual observation.

  • AWJ Test apparatus

    Internals of AWJ test cutting system capable of 2000psi ambient.

  • AWJ Cutting Test Assembly

    Test system suspended from Pressure Vessel lid. All control of test performed externally and routed through pass-thru’s to equipment.

  • Blasting Test Assembly

    Test apparatus suspended from large pressure vessel lid and ready for submersion.
