FOCUS ON ENERGI COAST
ROVS Tony goes on to say that it is in very rare cases they use divers, as the majority of projects are undertaken utilising ROVs, remotely controlled from a vessel.
Some equipment is so complex in nature they can be the size of a house – one such ploughing machine is a huge 15m x 18m long and 10m high, and ROVs the size of a car, especially one utilised for Jet Trenching.
One such trencher is 1.5MW – 2.3 MW pumped 8 x 8 x 6 m UT1, which is currently operational in Asia.
The Tractor T-3200 is the largest subsea vehicle 2.4MW machine, which as we speak is being modified in Teesside, before it will be permanently mobilised on the Havila Phoenix vessel, which joins the fleet in 2014. This trenching spread is almost ambidextrous as it may be utilised/ mobilised for a variety of industries, offshore wind farms and oil and gas.
DeepOcean have been requested to undertake installations of high capacity country interconnectors. The installation and laying of cables which spreads the load of energy and provides a seamless supply – which also balances the load of energy/utilities. Good for future power management – a “Supergrid”.
ADUS 3D VISUALISATION The company also acquired a 50% interest in ADUS in 2013, a small clever imaging company which surveys subsea equipment, allowing super high resolutions and accurate data measurement. This has proved to be invaluable for the wrecks market.
In fact this was touched upon when discussing with Pierre Boyd in the last issue. This particular service was called upon for the parbuckling of the Costa Concordia. The images were so clear it allowed the successful salvage company (Titan Salvage) to accurately pinpoint areas on the stricken cruise liner suitable for tying up on the quay, whereupon a cylindrical donut sling was installed, then pre-fabricated a point which in turn was able to right the vessel, a significant benefit! This service has also proved to be an invaluable tool for not only the offshore Wind industry but for IMR.
INITIATIVES & ASPIRATIONS DeepOcean believes its competitive strength lies with the expertise of its personnel and has an initiative ‘aspiration to be the employer of choice’. Human Resource teams strive to excel for the work environment, in a dynamic and varied industry resulting in continued job satisfaction, proof is in the pudding as this is reflected in the 3% turnover in staff.
FUTURE Tony states he wishes to continue to build the strength of the business within a strong and positive growing market, of which wind is decidedly strong. He concluded that the company is proud to be British and looks forward to the future with enthusiasm and expectation.
