ECG™ holistic cable monitoring system

Subsea cable and termination faults are common, but they can take a lot of time and money to fix. ORE Catapult data shows that they are responsible for 75-80% of the total cost of offshore wind insurance claims. Compounded over the 30 year life of the wind farm, the potential liability could spiral to  £25m for inter-array cables and £292m for export cables* - and that’s not including lost power generation.

The issue is that traditional monitoring methods such as ROV inspections or isolated sensors will not help to mitigate these costs, as they are reactive and can only offer an isolated view of an individual fault. Worst still, standard inspections can miss crucial faults on joints and terminations, and any warning signals that a problem has occured comes too late.
