Reinforced Cable Solutions for Underwater Tunnelling
Chris Johnston Joins Acteon as InterMoor Group Managing Director
Quality Companies Appoints Richard C. Leal in New Business Development Position
Quality Companies, the global offshore and onshore construction, fabrication, electrical and instrumentation company, has appointed Richard C. Leal to manage new business development in the refinery, chemical, power plant and oilfield sectors.
NOVACAVI recently applied its full capability for design and manufacture of custom-built cables for harsh environments providing special supply and power communication cables for the construction of a new underwater tunnel.
Cables had to be engineered and expertly produced considering they have to perform as a link between surface vessel and sub-tube junction unit at 100m depth. Often retracted and released by the winch on the deck of a tugboat, these high performant cables dive into the water and occasionally touch the ground during the extreme construction process. On basis of these severe operational requirements, NOVACAVI conceived and supplied a longitudinal water tightness cable solution with overall braided stainless-steel wire reinforcement for longitudinal cutting prevention and an external close wave polyethylene monofilament over braid for additional protection to rely on throughout the underwater tunnelling project.
Specialist in custom cable design and manufacturing for advanced technology since 1975, NOVACAVI develops any cable solutions with engineering expertise, comprehensive knowledge of materials and a high degree of manufacturing.
Acteon Group Ltd, a global provider of industry-leading products and services for the marine and subsea renewable, nearshore construction and oil and gas sectors, recently announced that Chris Johnston will be joining InterMoor as Group Managing Director of its global moorings and anchors business. He will be based in Houston, USA.
Chris brings with him more than 35 years of domestic and international industry experience from every major oil and gas basin. In his most recent role as a vice president at Valaris plc, he was responsible for overseeing and leading the North and South Americas team managing a diverse fleet of 29 rigs.
“I am delighted to be joining InterMoor,” said Chris, “and look forward to putting my experience to work and building on the excellent work already undertaken to establish a fully integrated and international moorings and anchors business for Acteon, particularly in the upcoming area of renewables.”
Leal will serve the Houston, Ingleside, Corpus Christi, San Antonio and lower South Texas areas. Leal has experience in regional sales director and senior sales manager roles for a range of companies serving the oil and gas industry in Texas, and has a track record of increasing revenues significantly.
Clay Nunnally, CEO, Quality Companies, said, “Richard is a skilled and adaptable sales professional with extensive leadership experience and proven ability to deliver growth and success within high-pressure environments. We know he will be a great asset to the Quality Companies team.”
Leal commented, “I am proud to be joining Quality Companies and look forward to using my experience to continue building client relationships and driving process improvement across my designated regions and sectors.”
