Cable Floatation Systems
Seaflex SeaSerpent
The Patented System for Installing Cables in Shallow Water
Instead of using multiple floats to support a submarine cable during installation in shallow water, the SeaSerpent is a continuous inflatable tube attached to the cable at 1.2m spacing. While its support and control of the cable is excellent, perhaps its most advantageous characteristic is the operational flexibility it allows the installer. The easy launching procedure is followed by a progressive and controlled sinking sequence which can be started, slowed, or reversed by simple surface control without divers.
