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.
