Offshore Cable Service
REDUCING DOWNTIMES AND OUTAGE COSTS
Based on our almost 15 years of experience in cable repair, we have created a service level agreement that ensures appropriate availability of services and resources to our customers. Our latest offshore service is our guaranteed mobilisation time, whereby we can provide a fully mobilised vessel including cable carrier systems within approximately 10 days.
Irrespective of the cause of the disrupted power supply, in an emergency situation it is important, among other things, to keep the number of interfaces involved to a minimum. Thanks to our extensive expertise, you can access almost all services from a single source, thus avoiding the often-tedious coordination with external parties like vessel operators, cable-laying companies and administrative authorities. This saves you valuable time.
Skilled resources on standby shorten the reaction time and facilitate the fastest possible return to normal operation.
Preparation is key to successful repair operations. We can tailor a preparedness plan for you, outlining the data, permits, certificates, contacts and repair scenarios that are necessary for repairs to be performed swiftly and safely.
Improved system service life, minimised risks.
Sound experience and expertise are necessary ingredients for high-quality cable maintenance. This must be carried out regularly to ensure reliable operation. At VIRTUE, we offer a comprehensive set of maintenance procedures, including inspection, cleaning, checking of consumables, measuring, refilling, data collection and reporting.
Faster repairs through secured storage and availability of spare parts.
Should a cable failure occur, it is important to have all the necessary spare parts readily available. VIRTUE has a structured method to ensure that our customers’ spare parts inventories are always updated. This is crucial in case of emergency, as the condition of some parts deteriorates over time. Our service team checks whether your stock is sufficient, focusing mainly on cables and cable accessories. Based upon this inventory, we can stock and replace the necessary parts for you.
Reduces repair time.
If necessary, a repair operation can be mobilized immediately after a call is received. VIRTUE’s service vans are equipped with tested and calibrated equipment, enabling our skilled and experienced service engineers to make any necessary field measurements. Our service engineers use and combine different methods to search for and locate the section of cable where the fault has occurred.
Large pool of in-house construction supervisors and cable engineers.
Cable jointing is a craft that takes many years to master, especially when it comes to working with paper-insulated cables. Our experts are sourced from our in-house installation department, which means that all of their time is devoted to jointing and termination work. We deliver complete jointing solutions that – apart from the expertise of our personnel – include all the equipment necessary for jointing.
