Aberdeen-based Balmoral Comtec has noted recent news on offshore wind cable failures, and has offered a solution for the problem in the form of its integrated cable protection stability system.
According to the company, its system offers up to 75% reduction in subsea cable movement helping prevent irreversible damage.
"The stability solution, which complements Balmoral FibreFlex, the company’s patented cable protection system, offers enhanced tensile and creep performance by using weighted modules to improve cable curvature response while maintaining system geometry over life," the company said.
