Description
This project considers a novel device for the automated pull-in and lock-off of medium and high voltage subsea
cables during offshore wind farm installation. The mechanical lock-off system aims to decrease the
dependency of operations on viable weather windows for personnel transfer by automating the cable clamping
process inside each turbine support structure. The risks associated with time delays will be minimised, as will
those relating to personnel transfer between vessels and turbine supports structures during weather windows
with marginal sea states.
