Ploughing for Power Cables

PCP-2 can bury cables in a variety of soil conditions. Depending on project requirements, this power cable plough can support either simultaneous or post-lay operations.

In certain seabed conditions, we can deliver enhanced burial performance by using PCP-2’s 300kW water jetting system, which reduces tow forces and increases performance.
