Short description │
Burial Sledge System II
When offshore windfarms are built, offshore cables have to be installed to transfer the energy to
the shore. These cable routes frequently cross shipping lanes and for reasons of protection these
submarine cables often have to be buried. Due to seabed migration, cable owners installing new
cables more often demand an increase of the burial depth in order to reduce the risk of exposure
to, and eventual damage and failure of, the submarine cable. Larger burial depths are potentially
problematic since there are few tools available to realise such burial depths. The Burial Sledge System
II (BSS-II) is a system that can realise burial depths of up to 6 m under the seabed.
