Cable route survey for 400 kV HVAC cable system across the Öresund; operations from Icebeam and Seabeam
MMT was awarded a contract by Svenska kraftnät to perform a cable route survey for the 400 kV HVAC cable system across the Öresund between Sweden and Denmark (Själland cable survey), supporting replacement planning due to technical lifetime. The marine survey scope included geophysical data acquisition (bathymetry, surface geology and sub-bottom conditions) and associated investigations such as cable tracking and identification of cable crossings, with MMT also performing a geotechnical investigation. Offshore operations were planned from MMT’s survey/ROV vessel Icebeam with coastal surveys from the vessel Seabeam, with operations starting in spring 2014.
