Cable Repair Services

At ECE Offshore, we understand the critical importance of maintaining a reliable power infrastructure. Submarine power cables are the lifelines that ensure seamless power transmission across oceans and seas, connecting countries and communities and offshore infrastructure. However, due to harsh marine environments, natural events, or human activities, these cables are prone to damage. That’s where we come in.

How we work

Assessment: Upon receiving your service request, our team will dispatch a fault-finding team to locate the fault. Meanwhile, our team evaluates the availability of nearby spot-market vessels suitable to accommodate the required repair equipment.

Rapid Engineering: Once the fault is identified and the repair strategy has been developed our engineering team will start working on all required engineering and QHSE documentation. Optionally a site visit will be scheduled to get a good understanding of the existing infrastructure.

Cable Repair: Any required materials such as spare cable, joint and accessories will be sourced and the selected vessel will be mobilised in a nearby port. The faulty cable will either be repaired or replaced.

Testing and Reinstallation: After the repair, we conduct comprehensive HV and fibre-optic  testing to ensure full functionality.
