Vysus Group is offering a new Cable Assurance service, designed to optimise collation of cable installation project data and information, enabling detailed identification and quantification of risk at granular intervals along the length of an as-installed submarine cable.
The objectives of Cable Assurance are to reliably guide future operational insurance premiums and maintenance spend and to inform the design and costings of future similar projects.
Based on over 10 years’ experience acquiring automated data in real time from construction, trenching, survey and drilling vessels within its IRIS project and data management web application, Vysus Group has developed a new IRIS module called CableQC to support its Cable Assurance service.
CableQC combines the wealth of available real-time digital sensor data from installation vessels, cable lay and trenching systems together with survey data and project reports, identifying key installation performance indicators which may influence the assessed risks associated with an as-installed submarine cable.
Vysus’s Cable Assurance partners, Primo Marine, with expertise in all aspects related to subsea cable installation and protection engineering, will provide performance analysis of the data and information.
CableQC is currently being used on a major submarine power cable interconnector project in north west Europe. A white paper outlining the context of the software development and the basis and objectives of the Cable Assurance service can be downloaded from Vysus Group’s website.
