263 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 4: Special Projects Category 4: Special Projects 4 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.
