CABLE PROTECTION
towers. The cable protection system installation process can be tested prior to installation at CWind’s demonstration site in Barrow to help ensure seamless delivery out in the field. The shore based Transition Piece can be configured to accept various systems to ensure full functionality and engagement along with the correct tower pull-in techniques and methodology. The effectiveness of these systems have been proven with over 400 cable pull-ins successfully completed at seven offshore windfarms to date including Gode Wind and Gwynt y Môr.
WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE
Installing, protecting and maintaining cable on the seabed has been Global Marine’s business for over 165
years.The company’s wealth of experience has been gained through successful installations and maintenance worldwide across all possible seabed conditions, terrains and ocean currents.
RECORD BREAKER
When installing the Pulau-Ketam power cable in Malaysia, Global Marine buried the cable to a record-breaking depth of 13.8m below the seabed, and during the installation of the Svalbard system inside the Arctic Circle, the company delivered the world’s deepest water ploughing at 1,700m; both requiring precise execution, the right tools for the job and a commitment to ensuring the cable’s longevity.

of established windfarms are located. Proper planning and initial route engineering, based on in-depth survey data, is the first line of defence to ensure that the cable route is carefully selected to avoid hazards, difficult terrain and busy shipping routes to name a few.
Route clearance can mitigate risk from unexploded ordnances and techniques such as cable armouring and mattressing can minimise damage caused by abrasion or entanglement. It is only through adequate burial that cable can be placed out of reach of such interaction, however.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
In addition to delivering the services mentioned above, Global Marine, in conjunction with its affiliate, CWind, also works to effectively manage the cable pull-in process ahead of cable lay and burial to safely and effectively secure the connection between
