Global ocean services provider DeepOcean has successfully completed trenching and survey operations on inter-array cables for a U.S. offshore wind project.
DeepOcean’s scope of work encompassed trenching and surveying of the inter-array cables that connect turbines to the offshore substations. These critical operations ensure the long-term protection and stability of the subsea cable infrastructure.
The contract was awarded by a global provider of engineering, procurement, construction and installation (EPCI) to the offshore wind industry.
“This work scope reflects DeepOcean’s commitment to delivering subsea services that help contractors and their end-clients optimize cable protection programs, reducing both cost and risk for all parties. We are very pleased to have contributed to this project, led by a dedicated team in our U.S. offices,” says Mitchell Pike, Managing Director of DeepOcean’s Offshore Renewables Division.
DeepOcean deployed a trenching support vessel (TSV) and the subsea jet trenching tool UT-1. The UT-1 is recognized as the world’s most powerful, free-flying jet trencher with a proven track record of successfully burying thousands of kilometres of subsea cables and pipelines in various challenging seabed conditions worldwide.
“This project is a testament to expertise in global subsea trenching and seabed intervention across the offshore energy sector. We are proud that our experienced team and state-of-the-art technology ensured a safe and efficient campaign, contributing to successful delivery,” says Tony Stokes, Managing Director DeepOcean’s Americas region.
