Articulated cover for hanging cables

摘要

An articulated pipe cable-protection system has been developed by Dutch family-owned CP/NL Engineering to protect the free-hanging section of inter-array cables between turbines. The distance between where the cable leaves its seabed covering and reaches the turbine entry point typically covers about 12-15metres.This cable section is highly dynamic, being subject to sea currents and drag-related water flow disturbances around the foundation and rock-scour protection. So, cable protection is usually provided on 20-25 metres of cable.
