zoommuli-mattress deployment tool, the MDS3

Offshore Marine Management (OMM) has successfully completed another subsea cable protection project in the German North Sea.

The contract, which required the firm to install mattresses at all cable crossings along the 70-km route, from Sandbank offshore windfarm to the converter station, SylWin Alpha, was awarded in June 2015.

Mobilisation for the project occurred within 30 days of the contract award.

Jonathan Everest, technical manager from OMM, said: “Our team efficiently developed project specific technical procedures and QHSE documentation to meet the client’s high standards for conducting the work.

“Our effective communication with the client, suppliers, as well as internally, meant the project could be completed in such a short space of time, to the highest quality standards.”

This is one of a number of mattressing projects completed by OMM so far this year. The firm most recently delivered mattress installation work for another client which saw it using its new muli-mattress deployment tool, the MDS3.

The MDS3 was designed and manufactured at Subsea Innovation’s headquarters in Darlington.
