Depth of Burial Monitoring

Are you aware of how deep your power cables are buried in the seabed?

ABOUT DEPTH OF BURIAL

Continuously monitoring the depth of your subsea cables.

Our Depth of Burial service continuously calculates the burial depth of undersea power cables based on the measured ampacity, distributed temperature of the cable and types of soil.

This results in an overview of overall depth of burial, adjustable alarms and historic analysis. All of which can be integrated in your SCADA system or made accessible through the stand-alone dashboard in any web browser.

Act in time, reduce risks and save money.

Subsea cable monitoring

Are you aware of how deep your power cables are buried?

Offshore wind farm owners and operators receive large amounts of data through their Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) device. It is hard and challenging to handle or interpret the incoming data to drive smart decisions that allows you to make timely and informed conclusions that maximize performance, secure energy transmissions, reduce costs, risks and lower your carbon footprint.

Using Marlinks’ software, we interpret your data and add on supplementary information to provide you with insights on your cable burial depth.
