SMART Joint Services (Jointing) on offshore AC-Systems

The client has had a universal seawater repair joint (SMART Joint) developed and built. In order to be able to use this for repairs in the event of a cable fault in an AC submarine cable, the client still needs qualified persons who can install it. For this purpose, a company with experience in this field is sought that can provide service personnel with appropriate jointing skills at defined response times at the request of the client. The contractor's jointing personnel will be trained in a two-week course to install the SMART Joint in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions in the event of a cable fault. For this reason, the participants in the tender are expected to have the appropriate knowledge and skills.

AC cable systems — rated voltages up to 155 kV, — up to 80 km length
