Power cable installation equipment

We provide cable lay systems and technical expertise to the global cable lay market, including a complete range of power cable installation equipment. We have a strong track record of laying inter-array and export cables. A number of configurations are available such as containerised systems and units that have a break-back feature which allows the passage of a quadrant to speed up inter-array cable lay operations.

Carousels

We design and build offshore carousels incorporating innovative technology for the safe, reliable, rapid spooling and storage of power cables.

Quadrant handling systems

Our quadrant handling systems are designed to install inter-array and other offshore power cables efficiently and safely.

Tracked cable tensioners for power cables

Our tracked cable tensioners are used to lay and pick up subsea power cables in applications such as inter-array, export and HVDC interconnector installation.

Cable lay systems specific for your mission

We have been providing equipment and technical expertise to the global cable lay market for over 30 years. Our aim is to provide you with benefits including faster lay speeds, increased operational sea states, reduced operating costs, optimum efficiency and minimal downtime. Our cable lay philosophy is to build safe, reliable equipment that is quick to mobilise and simple to operate and maintain.

From fully automated power and fibre optic lay systems to light weight cable transporters, we take pride in the equipment and services we provide you.

Integrated control systems

Our integrated control systems are based on proven industry-standard equipment and open software. This ensures that support and spare parts are readily available, and that the equipment can be maintained, developed and extended easily. The system equipment is controlled by a Siemens PLC and Siemens Remote IO modules operating on a Profinet network. The supervisory and control system is generally a Siemens HMI/WinCC SCADA package, which provides full operational and diagnostic capability.
