Abrasive Cold Cutting of Piles in the River Trent RGL was contracted by AR Demolition to decommission an obsolete sand and gravel loading facility on the River Trent in Lincoln. The scope involved cutting 19 steel piles at riverbed level using ultra-high-pressure (UHP) abrasive waterjet technology.
Remote UHP Water Jet Cutting Trial for Damaged Composite Turbine Blade RGL were requested to carry out a trial for cutting a composite turbine blade. The cut is required to release a portion of the blade when they have a critical failure and snap.
UHP Cold Cutting through Steel and Refractory in Major Refinery Shutdown RGL played a critical role in a major refinery shutdown, performing multiple precision and scrap cuts, a remotely operated reactor decoke, and refractory removal operations.
Ponticelli Titanium Cutting: Ultra-High-Pressure Water Jet Solution A recent abrasive water jet cutting project by RGL where various diameter process pipe work needed to be cut with a weld prep.
Elastomeric Bridge Bearings - Precision hydrodemolition to expose bearings for replacement A recent precision hydrodemolition project saw RGL remove 4.6m3 of concrete from the stubs of each pier on the Eastcliff Viaduct, facilitating access the elastomeric bearings for routine replacement.
DSM Demolition - Abrasive Water Jet Cold Cutting Provides Fast and Safe Access to Gasometers As part of a decommissioning programme at Provan Gas Works, DSM Demolition needed RGL to safely cold cut access points into a gasometer without risking ignition of the potentially explosive contents.
Wessex Water - Pipeline Cleaning and Descaling Sections of Critical Pipework When Wessex Water needed to descale a section of pipework within a clean water line, RGL's water jet cleaning services provided a chemical-free solution.
