Pipeline post-trenching & rock bag recovery

The challenge

Controlled flow excavation of three 300-metre pipeline sections to a depth of 2.7 m, plus remedial cable burial to 2 m top of cable, in three to six metres of water.

Our solution

The TRS1-LD jet trencher performed the excavation and cleared rock bag and debris sites, while the five-tonne RSBG recovered rock bags and anchors. Gemini NBI sonars provided real-time imaging throughout.

The result

All sections completed to specification in silty sand, with currents of one to two knots.
