How Port Demolition Works With Bluegrass Bit

Underwater Cutting for Ports With Bluegrass Bit

Underwater concrete and metal cutting is a powerful capability, and one we never hesitate to use. Given our decades of experience designing, fabricating and deploying underwater saws with successful results, including our patented rail saws, when underwater cutting is required at a port, Bluegrass will be there to get the job done. This includes cutting such submerged structures as:

● Piles
● Caissons
● Piers
● Sills

Bluegrass Bits utilizes top-tier engineering equipment, including bespoke diamond wire saws, which surgically cut through concrete and metal with minimal vibration and noise. This robust and reliable cutting method has the added advantage of minimally interfering with nearby shipping and other pier operations. Our skilled technicians also expertly incorporate critical measures such as slurry control and/or containment to guarantee environmental compliance during pier and port demolition projects.
Bluegrass’ advanced cutting and core drilling methods ensure the successful demolition of structures above and below waterline without compromising the integrity of surrounding marine infrastructure.
Our underwater saws are designed, engineered and fabricated to allow efficient deployment by divers and/or ROV’s, and are operated from the surface. Our attention to safe and efficient operation of equipment above and below waterline has proven over time to maintain schedule and budget.
