The company felt that the cable industry could benefit from a simple solution to resolve common issues and supply clients with a varying amount if equipment depending on requirements, more importantly the company were driven to reduce the amount of downtime for the client by providing a fast and efficient service.

The Subsea Cable Recovery tooling is offered as part of a “Menu of Equipment” so that clients could tailor their own package. Typical items include:

  • Mass Flow Excavator or Jet-Trenching ROV for the deburial and subsequent reburial of the product;
  • The cable grab spread (configured for crane launch or as a ROV configured unit);
  • An independent camera and lighting system on the cable grab itself to monitor the recovery;
  • Proximity sensors, gyros and imaging sonars;
  • The personnel to mobilize; operate and demobilize the varying levels of kit chosen.

The track record for these spreads has covered 2 x Interconnectors, 3 x Array Cables and 1 x Export Cable. Upcoming projects may include flowlines, flexible pipe and (with the addition of a new-build grab) sections of pipeline; as the company continue to explore new options across the offshore markets in Europe and beyond.
