Decom Engineering has appointed Keith McDermott as chairman as the company expands its subsea cutting technology business in offshore decommissioning markets.


The company recently secured a US patent covering elements of its proprietary Chopsaw cutting technology and said additional patent applications are progressing in multiple international jurisdictions.


Decom said its cold-cutting systems are designed to reduce operational risk and downtime during dismantling and decommissioning operations in offshore and industrial environments.


McDermott previously served as commercial director and shareholder at Ecosse Subsea Systems prior to its sale in 2018 and has held a non-executive role at Decom for the past four years.
