Over 8,800 Cable Protection Systems installed on over 100 offshore wind projects worldwide.
With an extensive track record in the connection and protection of submarine power cables, Tekmar Energy’s 10th Generation of Cable Protection System offers full protection of power cables, from hang-off through to burial, during installation, and over their service life.
TekDuct provides impact and abrasion protection for subsea power cables, umbilicals, risers and flowlines. It can also be used to provide additional ballast and on bottom stability as well as providing protection for bundled cables.
Key Features
Comprises two identical half shell mouldings
Configured to closely match the cable/flowline diameter
Simple installation process designed to accommodate three anti corrosion bands per length as standard
Tekmar Vertebrae Bend Restrictors (VBR) are lightweight dynamic components designed to limit the bend radius of subsea cables, umbilicals and flowlines by mechanical means during both installation and service life. The standard design consists of two half shells secured together using bolted fasteners.
Tekmar also offer an innovative quick install solution called TekLok. This is a unique quick install bend restrictor designed to meet industry demand for lower costs and faster installation times. Tekmar has advanced the field proven six bolt design to meet the requirements of our customers and ensure our technology continues to be industry leading without compromising on quality.
Key Features
Comprises two identical half shell mouldings with mercury free design
Lock out prevents over-bending
Subsea protection against physical damage
Fixing methodology ensures compliance to 25 year design life
Designed and manufactured in accordance with API 17L
Tekmar have taken a very standard “off-the-shelf” component used within the industry and pioneered a new patented solution, addressing many of the problems associated with the previously available products on the market. The hang-off clamp secures the cable at the top of the foundation (j-tube or monopile) and allows it to be terminated.
Tekmar J-Tube Seals provide pressure retention within a J-Tube and clamp to the cable or umbilical centralising the product. The seal provides a long term barrier, prohibiting corrosion by preventing seawater from entering the J-Tube. In addition, the seal clamp provides a reaction interface to attach a train of bend restrictors in order to protect the cable or umbilical from overbending in the free span.
Key Features
Passive and diver activated designs available
Compact and low pull in load options available (less than 1t) with proven track record
Full in house pressure and slip testing capability
Established range of standard and quick install bend restrictors available to protect the cable or umbilical on the back end of the J-Tube Seal
Tekmar static bend stiffeners provide overbending protection during installation and operation. Their primary purpose is to provide additional stiffness and control the minimum bend radius of the cable or umbilical. Tekmar utilise full in house design and analysis capabilities to offer a broad range of stiffeners and connectors to suit client requirements.
Key Features
Tapered design provides transitional stiffness to protect the cable or umbilical minimum bend radius (MBR)
Integral end fitting available in a range of different materials
Tekmar provide a range of different clamping solutions from Piggyback Blocks through to Thermal Insulation Clamps, Covers and Armadillos. These products clamp to the cable, umbilical or flowline and can provide a mounting point for a secondary product, offer additional stiffness in areas that may have been stripped back in order to attach to an end fitting or provide a protective covering in damaged areas.
Features
Piggyback products offer a quick method of attaching a secondary product to a main carrier pipeline
Clamping pressures optimised so as not to compromise the allowable clamping pressure on the cable, umbilical or flowline
Lightweight, compact designs allow for ease of assembly topside or subsea using divers
