cables carrying either AC or DC current,

all.
The system can undertake submarine
cable surveys in the shallow water
depths that are typical of offshore wind
farms, interconnector power cables and
coastal communications cables. The
Innovatum system produces reports and
charts showing accurate cable route
and depth of burial. This data is required
by installation contractors, owners and
regulatory authorities, to ensure that the
cable is properly buried and not in danger
of exposure and damage.
Robust subsea connections
With thegrowth inmarine renewableenergy
projects there is a growing requirement for
robust power cables and connectors to
withstand the harsh subsea environment.
For many tidal stream and wave energy
devices, connectors must be capable
of mating and breaking reliably and in
complete safety under water. They must
also maintain connection in a range of
temperatures and sea conditions, including
salt, dirty and turbid water, and at elevated
pressures due to depth of submersion.
RMSpumptools high- and medium-voltage
connector range has been in service with
customers for over 25 years. The connectors
