Seabed Preparation Equipment

To support efficient cable laying operations

Our range of seabed preparation equipment includes both Pre-lay Grapnel Spreads and De-Trenching Equipment, designed in accordance with ICPC recommendations. We offer a selection of tools to support route clearance, cable recovery, and seabed intervention activities. This includes grapnels, de-trenchers, sliding prongs, and Gifford assemblies, along with key rigging components such as master links, connectors, shackles, swivels, and chains. Anchor chains are also available to ensure stable and secure pre-lay configurations. All equipment is maintained to offshore standards and is suited for use in demanding subsea environments.
