Tool Tec were approached in 2020 by a key client to carry out the installation of new centralisers into two of their caisson guide funnels to support both a 42" and 20" diameter caisson. From previous ROV survey footage it was clear that the original secondary retro fitted centralisers had failed and were no longer providing any support. However, some of the supporting structure and locating bolts were still in place, potentially causing issues for the installation of the new
