Cable Repair

From March 2015, Briggs Marine undertook a shallow‑water export cable repair campaign for the Thanet Offshore Wind Farm on behalf of Balfour Beatty T&D, addressing a fault near the inter‑tidal joint of the Thanet OFTO export system. The Forth Guardsman vessel with divers, de‑burial and cutting equipment located and cut the cable three metres deep and prepared the ends, while the Pontra Maris barge was mobilised and outfitted with a modular cable repair spread, spare cable reel and burial tool to complete jointing and re‑burial of the repaired section.
