  • Cable protection system (CPS) design and verification
  • Installation planning and pull-in strategy support
  • Lifecycle performance assessment and monitoring
  • Structural integrity checks for safe offshore operation
CPS (Cable Protection System) Design & Analysis

Cable Design (DNV Helica, Uflex)

Detailed cable design and mechanical analysis using DNV Helica, Uflex, and other tools — considering tension, MBR, SWP, and operational constraints to ensure safe, reliable offshore installation and long-term system performance.

  • Local cable design with DNV Helica or Uflex
  • Mechanical limits analysis: tension, MBR, SWP
  • Installation feasibility and operational assessment
  • Support for offshore cable installation and reliability

Risk Assessment & Mitigation

Identification and mitigation of operational, installation, and system risks across SURF, cable, riser, and umbilical campaigns — including HAZID/HAZOP workshops and operational-readiness verification for safe offshore execution.

  • Operational and installation risk identification
  • HAZID and HAZOP workshop facilitation
  • Risk mitigation strategies for subsea systems
  • Verification of operational readiness
