Controlled flow excavation (CFE) services expert James Fisher Subsea
Excavation (JFSE), part of James Fisher and Son plc, has developed a low
draft, lightweight excavator.
The SP2000 ULD will primarily be used
for shallow water excavation and shore pull works including trench
maintenance during pull-in operations, post-trenching and backfilling.
The
tool, which is currently mobilising for its first project, is also
capable of pipeline and cable deburial for inspection, repair and
maintenance, seabed preparation, freespan correction and rock dump
dispersal.
"We
are committed to identifying solutions for our clients, using our vast
experience to be innovative about the possibilities and applications of
CFE.
"The SP2000 ULD is an important addition to our offering in the
Middle East as we continue to support new and existing clients with a
range of requirements.”
The SP2000 ULD is ultra-lightweight meaning
it can be deployed from a land-based or amphibious excavator or a
shallow water barge or vessel. Despite its small size, it is capable of
cutting up to 300kPa.
JFSE is responsible for the excavation of 300km of pipelines and cables in the Gulf.
