Rotech Subsea has delivered remedial export cable burial operations at an unnamed US offshore wind farm.
The Aberdeen-based subsea jet trenching and excavation specialist mobilised its TRS1 Controlled Flow Excavation (CFE) tool in April 2023 to carry out the scope of works for the Europe-based client.
Operating in water depths ranging from 8 metres to 15 metres, Rotech’s TRS1 spread of equipment was deployed by the project team from the aft of a 152t utility vessel using the onboard A-Frame, with dyneema ropes used to orientate the tool.
Subsea director Stephen Cochrane said: “With the US offshore wind sector in its infancy, the potential for us in the region is huge.
“We are already well established there having been hand-picked for a number of export cable trenching contracts by a major client we have worked with long term in Europe and will soon establish a US entity to help us better service the market.”
