The post-lay trenching and backfilling works are planned to commence late 2017 with DeepOcean’s T1 mobilized from the UK after the completion of an extensive upgrade.
The 25 Te self-loading trencher T1 has successfully completed over 1650km of subsea trenches for cables and pipelines up to 20in. After the upgrade, T1 is designed to cut a subsea trench with a maximum depth of 1.4m in various soil conditions up to 40MPa. The trencher is also capable of carrying out mechanical backfill operations to assist in cable protection.
