CABLE INSTALLATION
Cable Installation
Lead and project engineering, procedure development, equipment specification, drafting support and operational support for offshore submarine cable installation campaigns.
Smart Veritas provides lead and project engineering support for submarine cable installation campaigns across power, telecommunications, and interconnector applications. Our engineers manage the full engineering scope from project award through to completion, delivering procedures, equipment specifications, drawings, and on-site operational support.
Lead & Project Engineering
We provide lead engineers and project engineers for cable installation campaigns, coordinating between installation contractors, cable manufacturers, and asset owners. Our engineers develop the engineering deliverable register, manage design reviews, track progress against schedule, and provide technical authority across all project phases.
Procedure Development
We develop detailed installation procedures covering cable lay, jointing and repair, burial, and cable pull-ins (shore pull, 1st end and 2nd end). Our procedures are written by engineers with direct offshore experience and produced to DNV standards under our ISO 9001 certified management system.
Equipment Specification
From cable engines and tensioners to quadrant handling systems and overboarding chutes, we specify and review equipment requirements for cable installation vessels. Our specifications ensure compatibility between the cable manufacturer's stated limits, vessel capabilities, and installation methodology.
Drafting Support
We provide drafting and drawing support for cable installation projects, including 2D/3D deck layouts, equipment arrangement drawings, cable routing, rigging, storyboards and other supplementary drawings. Our drawings are produced to client and regulatory standards, supporting both the engineering and operational phases of the campaign.
Operational Support
Our PE/FE engineers provide on-board operational support during cable installation campaigns, with direct experience using OrcaFlex for real-time analysis scopes. This enables vessel-based decision-making and continuous engineering presence throughout the installation programme to ensure safe and efficient execution.
