University of Exeter

Fulgor has sponsored a post-doctoral study to develop

in collaboration with the University of Exeter numerical
hydrodynamic and fatigue service life modelling of
dynamic submarine cables including fatigue testing for
validation.
In-house testing facilities
Fulgor's new lab features state-of-the-art equipment to carry out development tests, type
tests and qualification tests for AC cable systems up to 500 kV and DC cable systems up to
+/- 600 kV. In addition, an upgrade of the existing facilities was carried out to conduct electric
series tests on long submarine cable lengths.
The new facility, completed in September 2018, can apply maximum voltage of 450 kV
and will be used to carry-out tests on cable lengths up to 60 km cables with a rated
operating voltage of 220 kV.

Quality
Cablel® cable companies apply strict quality standards and certified management systems that
ensure high quality of their products and services, while setting the framework for continuous
improvement. All products bear compliance markings and quality labels by internationally
recognised certification houses, confirming the continuous controls carried out during the
production process and the high standards on which they are produced.
All Cablel® production facilities are certified according to ISO 9001:2015.

Sustainability
Cablel® cable companies have incorporated Sustainability principles into their business
operations, as they are a key tool for their long-term growth. The concern of employee health
and safety in every activity, the environmental protection, the comprehensive coverage of
customer needs, and the support for the local communities in which they operate are the
main sustainability issues of Cablel® cable companies and are reflected in their Sustainability
Policy.
All Cablel® production facilities are also certified according to ISO 14001:2015,
OHSAS 18001:2007 and ISO 50001:2011. Demanding and unexpected conditions
could affect productivity, profitability and stakeholder confidence. For this reason, a
Business Continuity Plan is developed, certified according to ISO 22301:2012.

Production facility: Fulgor

Cablel® Hellenic Cables operates one of the largest
and most advanced submarine cable plants in the
world, Fulgor.
Located near Athens, Greece, Fulgor is undergoning an
investment program in excess of EUR 150 million over the
last eight years to become a trusted provider of turnkey
submarine cable solutions for the Offshore Wind industry
and Submarine Interconnections globally.
