SWT-1

SWT-1 - Shallow Water Trencher

SWT-1 is a purpose-built trencher with a proven track record for burying submarine cables and umbilicals in shallow water and beach operations.

  • Operates in shallow water to beach

  • Enhanced burial depths via jetter or wheel cutter

  • Easily reconfigurable for client requirements

  • Can be transported in 7 x 20ft ISO containers for easy deployment worldwide.

SWT-1 - Shallow Water Trencher

Efficient Shallow Water Trenching

This trencher’s integrated depressor ensures positive lowering, and removes the need for separate post-trench survey operations to ascertain the depth of lowering operations.

Supported by an experienced team, SWT-1 can be adapted to operate in either wheel cutting or jetting mode, to provide efficient burial depths in multiple soils.
