Designing the perfect cable for deep-sea projects requires a clear, step-by-step process to ensure your cables can handle the ocean's demands. With the sea's challenges, you can't afford to guess or make assumptions. It demands precision and expertise at every stage. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the four essential steps to turn your project’s data into a high-performance cable, emphasizing the valuable role of partnership at every stage.
Engineering a cable for your offshore energy project can be challenging, especially when it is exposed to 6-meter waves and the ocean's constant movement. For those working on these projects, it is very important to focus on a dynamic cable design from the start. The sooner you start with it, the more you’ll benefit from it at a later stage. In this blog, we’ll tell you more about the impact of this on your project and the benefits it unlocks.
Within the renewable energy industry, power transmission is an important aspect. A great variety of cables, both static and dynamic umbilicals, is being used for that purpose. With the rise of wave energy conversion systems and offshore floating wind, there has been renewed interest in dynamic umbilicals / power export cables.
Why is it important to involve your cable supplier early in developing your new product or equipment? At DeRegt, we often see customers who have succeeded in developing an excellent Sonar or ROV system but forget to think of the cables involved or underestimate their complexity.
The oil & gas sector is a widely varied field, with a whole range of cable requirements. Each system has different conditions, risks and possibilities. At DeRegt we want to help you find the perfect cable for your situation, which is why we want to give you all the information you need to specify your requirements.
Every ROV project has its own system requirements. For a fit-for-purpose cable design, these system requirements have to be translated into cable requirements. In other words, the link between system requirements, cable requirements and cable design is crucial for a successful subsea project.
In this blog, we take a look at the system requirements with the greatest impact on cable requirements and the cable design. Read more in this free to download whitepaper.
Any object that moves through liquid is subject to hydrodynamic forces. When towing, these forces will exert themselves on ropes and cables, as well as the towed body itself, thereby limiting speed and depth.
The newly developed Sonic Wireline Operated Remote Drill (SWORD) is a system designed to collect samples and geotechnical data from the seabed. The cable needs to combine electro/optic components with a high tensile light-weight strength member, taking into account the rules around rope hoisting/lifting applications.
There are many aspects to designing a dynamic cable. For example, a cable can be meant to move while in use, as happens when towing or because of wave motion. Other aspects are things like torque balancing, the load versus elongation properties, the crush resistance and fatigue life.
