"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. BBC was chosen for this project due to their innovative approach to the demolition as well as their team approach to the entire job which allowed for overall project success."

Bluegrass’ offshore effort was a natural migration given our experience in the nuclear industry, heavy steel cutting of reactor nozzles, marine cutting of crane pintles, and cruise ship crank shafts.  We have developed a patented family of saws which are attached to drill rig legs, casings, etc. by diver or ROVs.   Robustly engineered with  mission sensitive design Bluegrass saws allow easy deployment, predictable cut rates, and minimal dive time.

Our familiy of saws have brought to the offshore market consistant performance resulting in predictable cut rates and substantially reduced vessel and diver time previously devoted to underwater cutting.  Our robust design and ease of deployment have resulted in innovative solutions reducing what had been an adventure to routine.
