Launching and commissioning of cables and ducts.
Launching and commissioning of cables and ducts involves the controlled installation, positioning, connection, and testing of underwater cables and protective ducts.
Launching and installation:
Assists with the deployment and positioning of sub-sea cables and ducts.
Ensures correct alignment, routing, depth, and protection.
Includes underwater inspection of cable routes, crossings, supports, and connection points.
May involve specialist diving teams and remotely operated equipment.
Commissioning:
Verifies that cables and ducts are correctly installed, secure, and ready for operation.
Includes visual inspection, dimensional checks, continuity and insulation testing where applicable.
Checks connections, joints, terminations, seals, and protective systems.
Documents the installation through photos, video, measurements, and commissioning reports.
Main benefits:
Ensures reliable and safe operation of sub-sea cable systems.
Identifies installation defects before the system enters service.
Reduces the risk of cable damage, leakage, or premature failure.
Provides documented evidence for handover and future maintenance.
