Offshore Decommissioning & Sub-Prime Pipe Repurposing
Rotopipe delivers industrial-grade coating removal machines for two critical markets: offshore pipeline decommissioning and sub-prime pipe repurposing — available for outright purchase or flexible rental worldwide.
Who We Are
Rotopipe is a specialist manufacturer of pipeline coating removal systems serving two distinct markets: offshore pipeline decommissioning and the repurposing of sub-prime surplus pipe. Our machines tackle every coating type — from heavy concrete weight coating to 3LPE, 3LPP, FBE and anti-corrosion layers — with precision and efficiency.
Rotopipe was established by the team behind Decom Engineering, one of the industry's most respected names in pipeline cutting and coating removal technology. With over two decades of hands-on experience designing, building and deploying equipment in demanding oil and gas environments globally, our founders bring a depth of real-world knowledge that sets Rotopipe apart from day one.
In the decommissioning market, operators need equipment that handles heavy concrete weight coating from offshore pipelines at scale. In the repurposing market, pipe suppliers, processors and steel mills need fast, consistent stripping of 3LPE, 3LPP and FBE coatings — whether from sub-prime surplus stock or pipe rejected at the mill where coatings did not meet quality standards — returning pipe to a clean specification ready for recoating or resale.
Whether you're decommissioning offshore infrastructure or running a high-throughput pipe repurposing operation, Rotopipe has a machine built specifically for your application — backed by a track record of successful deployments across Europe and beyond.

Rotopipe machines have been deployed on projects across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and beyond — delivering performance wherever the work demands it.
Our Heritage
Rotopipe is the direct continuation of the coating removal technology developed and proven by Decom Engineering — a company with an established global reputation for pipeline cutting and decommissioning solutions. The Rotopipe team led the development, commercialisation and field deployment of that technology from its earliest stages, building an unmatched level of expertise in coating removal across both the decommissioning and pipe repurposing markets.
Rotopipe now operates as a dedicated, independent business focused exclusively on coating removal — bringing that proven technology and hard-won operational knowledge to clients worldwide. When you work with Rotopipe, you are working with the people who built this technology and have deployed it successfully on projects across Europe and beyond.
As offshore oil and gas infrastructure reaches end-of-life, operators face the challenge of removing heavy concrete weight coatings and anti-corrosion layers at scale. Rotopipe's CWC-R and SM-CRM are engineered for exactly this — delivering the throughput and robustness that major decommissioning programmes demand.

Sub-prime surplus pipe — coated with 3LPE, 3LPP, FBE or similar — has significant commercial value once stripped back to clean bare steel. Rotopipe's Static and M-CRMs enable pipe suppliers, traders and processors to run high-throughput stripping operations, unlocking the value in surplus stock for piling, construction and infrastructure markets.
