Scope
UXO ID & clearance campaign for interconnector UK-section
- Nearshore and offshore survey
- Target identification
- Debris removal
- UXO clearance of the cable route
Execution
N-Sea’s smart solution
N-Sea delivered a fully integrated solution covering all aspects of the clearance campaign, meeting the customer’s stringent schedule targets. Multiple vessels were deployed for both nearshore shallow waters and offshore operations.
The schedule was achieved by utilising vessels from the N-Sea fleet equipped with work-class ROVs. UXOs that could not be relocated were cleared in situ using N-Sea’s certified low-order disposal tool, COBRA.
For the shallow water scope, a dedicated solution was developed using N-Sea’s in-house survey and
diving expertise, supported by fit-for-purpose vessels sourced from the market.
