Cable Survey Completed
Submagnetix, the survey division of Innovatum (UK), has completed the as-laid cable survey on the Baltic I wind farm. The entire cable survey was completed without breakdown. The data collected was of a very high standard. The survey system was mobilised within twenty-four hours. The cable survey, including data processing, was carried out by two Innovatum technicians per shift. They operated both the ROV and the survey systems.
Submagnetix was set up in June 2010 as the survey division of Innovatum to provide a cost-effective, compact and complete, in-shore and shallow-water survey service for all sub-marine cables, and sub-marine steel pipelines.
The survey spread includes a Saab Seaeye Falcon ROV and a Smartrak cable and pipeline tracking system. The surface equipment consists of: the ROV controller and the Innovatum iPSS Integrated Portable Survey System, which is housed in two rack- mounted cases.
