EPCI Project Update: HDPE Milestone
The Dakar Marine Link joint venture between Enshore Subsea and Herbosch-Kiere hit another milestone last week when two 250-meter HDPE ducts were submerged on the seabed in the Bay of Dakar, Senegal.
The HDPE ducts will bring ashore the two 17.5 km, 225 kV submarine power cables for client MCA Senegal II for the Senegal Power Compact submarine cable project.
The ducts, which were constructed by the Herbosch-Kiere team with engineering and project management support from the Enshore Subsea team, consist of 12-meter sections welded together on land using mirror welding.
A pre-wire is currently in place to pull the cable through later. Both ducts were bolted together, accounting for a total length of 500 metres that was submerged to the seabed in one piece.
