TOOLING
Our tooling solutions are built for harsh environments.
Engineered for precision, performance and reliability, STR’s tooling solutions supports subsea operations with trusted technology and expert integration.


START-TO-FINISH SUPPORT
STR’s tooling supports every stage of a project, from pre-installation through to de-commissioning.
In the early phases, our portfolio provides precision dredging and cleaning tools to prepare for the installation of subsea infrastructure. During installation and intervention, tools such as torque tools, valve packs, manipulators and installation aids are used to allow for accurate installation and adjustments. For decommissioning, we offer proven cutting tools and recovery solutions to support safe and efficient removal of subsea assets.
