Client Testimonials

"This project was a stepping stone for OCCI, Inc. and Bluegrass to build a relationship for the future. It is OCCI's intention to partner with Bluegrass for years to come! Since completion of this project, OCCI has been awarded a similar project at another lock and has partnered with BBC to complete the concrete demolition.

Underwater Decommissioning Services

Bluegrass metal cutting services deliver results over a wide variety of applications due in large part to the flexibility of our diamond wire sawing equipment and the experience of our engineers and technicians. Our diamond wire sawing equipment is researched, developed, produced and maintained in-house and it is there that our engineers and cutting technicians have the opportunity to apply their extensive real-world cutting experience. Due to our in-house research and development, we have the ability to devise solutions, configure our equipment deliver those solutions and test it on mockups long before we reach the work site. Once on site, Bluegrass technicians are able to quickly deploy the diamond wire sawing equipment to meet project specifics and efficiently deliver cutting results that address the contingencies of a project.

From equipment design to project implementation, Bluegrass underwater metal cutting services deliver consistent performance and provide predictable cut rates while reducing vessel deployment and actual dive time. Contact us to learn why we are the underwater metal cutting contractor of choice.
