The vehicle named Swordfish is scheduled for delivery in the first quarter of 2022.
It can be fitted with either a jetting installation, a mechanical chain cutter or a combination of both to tackle a wide variety of soil conditions and bury cables up to three or even three-and-a-half metres deep.
Swordfish will be powered by two 300kW hydraulic power units and two 300kW electric HP jet pumps.
It will be capable of tackling soil strengths up to 125kPa, thanks to its 1120 kW of pump power, Jan De Nul said.
In mechanical or hybrid mode, it will be able to cope with soil strengths up to 400kPa, using its 400kW chain cutter tool and 420kW additional jetting power, the company said.
