Cable Cutting Shears
Hiretech Limited has completed successful yard trials with its new 5 tonne subsea cable cutting shears.
The cable cutting tool trials were conducted ahead of a client’s recent cable repair project.
The trials were carried out to verify the required flows and pressures and confirm the cut times on 130mm, 203mm and 213mm diameter 3-core submarine export cables.
The cable cutting shears performed to expectation, delivering fast and efficient cuts to all three cables, utilising only 50-60% of the available hydraulic power.
Additional test cuts were performed on 9 5/8” drill casing, further demonstrating the powerful cutting abilities of the shears on tubular materials.
Hiretech added the shears to its rental offering following positive feedback from its client base. Available with 950t (5 tonne) and 1700t (10 tonne) shear force, the shears have been specified by Hiretech to provide safe, high performance cutting solutions on a variety of materials.

Performance, reliability, ease of operation and maintenance were the key considerations at the specification stage. The cable cutting shears have been designed for water depths of up to 10,000ft and can be powered and controlled from the surface, or from an ROV with hot stab and intensifier.
Duncan Duthie, Subsea and Decommissioning Business Development Manager at Hiretech, has been overseeing the product integration into the firm’s rental portfolio.
Mr Duthie commented, “This very significant investment by Hiretech demonstrates our continued commitment to deliver robust, reliable, and high performing rental products across a variety of sectors both domestically and internationally. As efforts shift towards a focus on efficiencies and sustainable energies, Hiretech strives to ensure it continues to meet evolving industry and client requirements.”
The company made two six-figure investments in 2020, adding subsea shears and air winches to its fleet, as progress continues to diversify and expand its rental equipment offering.

Cable Jointing Tools By Alroc
LV, MV, HV & EHV Power Cables
The Alroc range of cable jointing tools are used for the removal and stripping of outer cable sheath, semi-conductor screen and insulation from LV, MV, HV and EHV power cables.
The following Video Blogs show how cable preparation is vital for the performance of stability of MV-HV cable joints and terminations – if cables are under prepared using sub-standard tools or basic hand tools then the risk incidence of cable failure is increased.

Alroc PG MV HV Cable Jointing Tool
INSULATION REMOVAL & STRIPPING TOOL
BY ALROC
MV HV Medium & High Voltage Cables
Alroc PG cable tools are used by MV-HV jointers to remove the outer sheath to prepare the cable ready for the installation of joints, terminations or connectors.
The PG tool manufactured by Alroc is safer and more precise than a knife enabling the user to make a circular and longitudinal cut in order to remove cable’s outer sheath by the jointer. All cable sheath cutting depth ranging from 0,5 mm / 0,019 in to 5 mm / 0,196 in are available on demand.
The Alroc PG range of cable sheath and cable jacket strippers are compatible with: XLPE, PE, PVC, LLPE, PUR and rubber type sheathed cable jackets.
Cable preparation is essential to the performance and stability of MV-HV cable joints and terminations – if cables are prepared incorrectly using sub-standard tools or basic hand tools then the risk incidence of cable failure is increased.

MV HV Medium & High Voltage Cables
Alroc PF cable jointing tools are used by cable jointers to remove the copper tape shield from MV-HV medium/high voltage power cables.
The below video demonstrates removing LC shield without scoring into the semi-conductive screen layer below the copper tape shield – the Alroc PF cable jointers tool features grooved bushings so that the cable cutting blade sits on the highest point of the LC shield.
