N-Sea has completed an investment and upgrade program of its Renewables and Utilities Department (RUS), the main focus of which is cable management and asset integrity. An experienced and dedicated management team have been installed to oversee this department, and they have completed an upgrade program of their tools and equipment to enhance their Controlled Flow Excavation (CFE) Capabilities. 

N-Sea has a proven and respected record in CFE, with the company enjoying a long and successful track-record with the use of non-contact methods for burial, remedial works and cable repair. Coupled with their renowned survey and engineering capabilities, the asset puts the firm in a strong position when offering their clients turnkey solutions.

 N-Sea Engineering Manager, Ruud Houtman commented “N-Sea have recently performed studies and tests which further demonstrates the capabilities of our Twin and Quad Prop tools. The results of our study can provide us and our clients the knowledge and confidence that our tools can perform in the environments required. We are also very fortunate to have Management and Operational personnel who have a depth of knowledge for the integrity of cable and the performance of remedial burial, corrective maintenance, and repair to subsea assets”. 

Renewable and Utilities Operation Manager, Dale McDonald commented,
“The investment, time and effort made into the CFE tools within N-Sea is an important step, having these tools available in house enables the RUS department to offer more integrated maintenance and repair services to the renewable sector. Our powerful QuadProp is one of very few CFE tools available on the market with a dedicated launch and recovery system. This system allows for a safer more controlled deployment and offers more stability to the tool whilst in operation.” 

N-Sea CEO, Arno van Poppel commented,
“This investment is only one part of our drive to help asset owners control and maintain the subsea asset during its life cycle and we are excited to be releasing more news regarding our services in the very near future”.
