Cable installation

Enabling low-risk cable lay, service, & repair.

Subsea cables are the lifeblood of any offshore wind farm development, and it is essential that they are stored, handled, and installed with the utmost care to support their longevity in the field.

Our expertise lies in developing equipment to support our customers in maintaining dependable and highly efficient laying operations.

Safety, reliability, and protecting the product are at the core of everything we design. We deliver a number of cable lay systems and spreads, of varying types and scale.
