The shallow water project began in September, in the tidal estuary of the Strait of Georgia. Aquatic will be laying approximately 15km of electrical power cable, operating in a busy shipping lane between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia, close to the US border. Aquatic’s multi-reel solution enables the project vessel to perform fewer of the 230km trips between the quayside and the project site, reducing the barge transit distance by 2,000km. The solution will provide considerable time and craneage cost savings by having all four reels loaded on the vessel at the start of the project, rather than mobilized individually. Richard Charles, sales and business development manager, Aquatic, said: “Our recent successes, such as the umbilical installation project with Mermaid Subsea Services in the Middle East earlier this year, havedemonstrated our multi-reel capability and expertise in delivering an integrated managed service.”

Saving time and costs Aquatic Engineering and Construction Ltd will lay 87mm diameter power cables for the main provider of electricity in British Columbia, Canada.
