Total system design for floating offshore wind dynamic cable protection
A major Chinese oil & gas operator aimed to electrify its offshore operations by installing a large floating wind turbine - an innovative, first-of-its-kind development in the region. To ensure the long-term integrity of the project, the operator required a robust solution to protect the dynamic cables throughout their 25-year design life.
The highlights
Experts in cable protection
Over 40 years of offshore experience in designing and manufacturing reliable cable protection systems.
Total system design
A fully integrated solution that simplifies procurement and ensures long-term reliability.
Custom-made solutions
Tailored protection equipment, designed to meet the specific needs of the project.
Solution
Drawing on over four decades of experience in protecting cables in the offshore oil and gas sector, we applied our expertise to design, qualify, test, and manufacture a total system design for dynamic cable protection. This included buoyancy modules, Uraduct® cable protection, bend protection, and tether clamps. By delivering a fully integrated solution to the cable manufacturer, we ensured seamless compatibility and long-term reliability, giving the developer confidence in the cable’s durability over its entire design life.
Result
Our total system design approach simplified the contracting strategy and reduced commercial risks for the owner-operator. By providing a fully integrated protection system, we streamlined procurement and minimised complexities, ensuring efficient execution. This approach provided a seamless, end-to-end solution that contributed to the overall success of the project.
