Nexans and Equinor Cement Partnership with New Agreement

(XLPE, mass impregnated or oil-filled cables).In the case of a cable system failure, Nexans will offer its expertise of installing and maintaining submarine cable systems by mobilizing highly-skilled teams to assess the fault and perform any necessary repairs.Nexans is committed to finding the most suitable solution and intervene as quickly as possible, ensuring continuity of power transmission. The areas of operation are located in Northern Europe but can be broadened according to the clients’ needs, the companies said

New All-in-one Optical Incremental Encoder from Renishaw

longer lengths, better dirt immunity and lower cost, Renishaw noted. An example application is scanning, for instance 3D LiDAR, which relies on precise constant-velocity control of a rotary motor in order to limit measurement errors at long range. The VIONiCplus incremental encoder is a suitable solution as it provides low SDE that minimizes velocity ripple. Furthermore in motion control, the encoder's high 2.5 nm resolution and low 1.6 nm RMS jitter reduce position settling time and increase stage repeatability. The VIONiC series of incremental encoders has CE approval; is manufactured

Biofouling Control in Marine Instruments via UVC LEDs

known for some time, traditional UV lamps containing mercury are not a feasible option in many aquatic settings due to their bulk, fragility, high power consumption, and the toxic nature of mercury. These lamps are also difficult to start in cold environments. LEDs that emit UVC light offer a more suitable solution that overcomes the limitations of mercury lamps. They consume less power, have a smaller footprint for more design flexibility, and high brightness in the necessary germicidal wavelengths. Newly available high performance UVC LEDs offer greater reliability and lifetime than the early commercialized

Seatronics, Meridian Complete Mexico Pipeline, Deliver Cost Saving

of Ciudad Del Carmen, and required a full survey equipment spread utilising a Forum Comanche ROV. As a light work class ROV would be inappropriate for the type of planned inspection (due to the payload capacity of 250 kg) Seatronics proposed the implementation of the RTS Gen 5 Multiplexer as a suitable solution for the identified issue, as well as the use of a technician to help with the integration of the electronics to the ROV. The technology provided by Seatronics enabled Meridian to run the equipment while utilising the Comanche’s native 300 voltage direct current (VDC) power supply. Additional

Jee Awarded Cable Solutions Contract

companies will be chosen to progress through to practical demonstrations in sea conditions by autumn 2015 (phase 2). Jee has approached the problem by developing four innovative concepts which have been assessedfor the practicalities of installation and retrieval in order to identify the most suitable solution. Martyn Campbell, a Jee senior engineerwho isleading the project, said, “The relatively deep water and fast currents typically found within tidal energy developments make the cable protection solutionsmore of a challenge. The UK is leading the world in tidal energy and it is exciting

MacArtney to Display Medium Voltage Inline Termination

subsea units. MacArtney MV Inline Terminations are engineered to make offshore inline connections faster, easier and more effective. Cables can be terminated onsite or ahead of cable laying and the actual mechanical connection of the two halves takes less than an hour, making it a suitable solution for applications with limited installation windows, such as tidal energy units. The short connection time also means that valuable ship and downtime is reduced. Off the coast of Brittany (France), a pathbreaking tidal energy project is rapidly approaching an operational stage of development
