Offshore Wind
DeepOcean plays an active role in the global supply chain of Offshore Wind power, providing a range of solutions under its five core service areas.
SURVEY AND SEABED-MAPPING
DeepOcean can provide detailed surveys of cable corridors to allow project engineers to design cost-efficient, practical and safe routes for their installations. Route surveys detail the topography of the seafloor to correctly identify optimum routes and lay barge anchor pattern routes. Wrecks, man-made artefacts, debris and dumping grounds are identified to ensure that cables are not laid in potentially hazardous areas for the cable or the trenching assets. As a provider of cable installation and trenching services, DeepOcean can provide a combined package of pre and post lay survey and trenching services from the cable installation vessel or as a separate scope of work.

SEABED INTERVENTION (TRENCHING)

DeepOcean is home to the worlds largest fleet of high technology marine trenching and burial equipment, including jet trenching ROVs, ploughs and mechanical trenchers. DeepOceans strength includes its flexibility to provide the right tool for the job combined with an experienced offshore delivery team.

Investment in the Right Tools

DeepOcean is home to the worlds largest independent fleet of high technology marine trenching and burial equipment, including jet trenching ROVs, ploughs and mechanical trenchers. It also owns and operates a fleet of sophisticated survey ROVs, as well as offering spreads for shallow water export cable installation and burial.
JET TRENCHING
Suitable for fine to loose sands and some clay conditions. DeepOcean currently has five jet trenching ROVs available for wind farm work (UT-1, PT-1, CMROV1, CMROV3 and CMROV4). Jet trenching ROVs provide an ideal tool for use on offshore wind farms. Their manoeuvrability enables them to follow any cable route and jet up to the cable touchdown point, reducing the need for alternative cable protection.

PLOUGHING
Suitable for a large range of seabed conditions and soil types depending on the design and burial depths, DeepOcean currently has five cable ploughs suitable for wind farm work (PCP-1, PCP-2, MD3, MPS and ACP). Ploughing is used in a variety of soil types for burial depths of greater than 1.5 metres. There are advantages to ploughing, which include greater cable burial depth, simultaneous lay and burial and a cost-effective solution.

MECHANICAL TRENCHING
Mechanical trenchers can operate in either jetting or cutting mode and are capable of working in sands, clays and rock conditions. DeepOcean currently has 3 mechanical cutting vehicles suitable for wind farm work (SWT-1, T1 and T2). Mechanical trenching is the ideal tool for the more onerous soils condition wind farms where a burial index recommends 1 to 1.5 metre burial. Mechanical trenching vehicles can work close to the cable touchdown point but required that the cable route is managed to avoid sharp changes in direction. The cable is safely managed away from the cutting tools path and placed at the bottom of the resulting trench.

SURVEY
The backbone of the DeepOcean survey ROV fleet is the HIROV 3000, Installer and Supporter type ROV systems. With a fleet including 22 ROVs, these tools can provide cable survey at all major energy development locations around the world and can be part of a complete package for cable installation and trenching services, offering pre and post lay surveys. DeepOcean either own or have on long-term charter all of the inspection and survey vessels currently offered. This, combined with a large fleet of owned survey ROVs and its own team of offshore personnel, provides a high quality, well managed service to DeepOcean clients.

In-House Expertise
Our operational, geotechnical and commercial teams work together to define the right solution for each individual project.
GEOTECHNICAL
The Geotechnical team works as an internal consultancy service, providing a full range of geoscience-related support to DeepOcean and key clients, focused on geotechnical and trenching engineering, but also including metocean advice and risk analysis. Maintaining an extensive operational database, combined with the use of predictive models where applicable, ensures the selection of the correct asset and that realistic performance estimates are made to comply with client burial goals, and ultimately project success. This department plays an important role in identifying needs and commissioning R&D initiatives to support DeepOceans activities and ensure it retains its competitive edge. also deploys the latest in scour survey, tracking and visualisation techniques.

ENGINEERING
Early engagement within the design phase of the project can reduce cost and risk by ensuring simple design considerations, which will pay dividends during the construction phase of the project. DeepOcean has considerable expertise in carrying out detailed planning and schedules, documentation and drawings and project installation procedures for all its projects. These range from new vessel and equipment fabrication and commissioning to vessel and equipment upgrades through to trenching and burial workscopes.

MANAGEMENT
Cable installation activities interface with numerous other work scopes and activities in the wind farm. A proactive integrated working relationship with the client is key to successful delivery. DeepOceans long term vessel charters, ownership of all trenching assets and dedicated offshore base, allows controlled management and on time delivery of complex installation and trenching spreads. During operations, DeepOcean proactively works with the client and other contractors on the project to ensure logical requirements and interfaces are clear to all parties. This reduces the potential for conflicts and project delays.

SURVEY
DeepOcean has developed and retained its own expertise in providing high quality on and offline survey teams and ROV operators. Working around the world in some of the most variable and challenging conditions, DeepOcean has a reputation for the quality of its people, equipment, vessels and services. Utilising the latest techniques and software, DeepOcean provides standard cable route depth of burial surveys but
