UK: JDR Starts Construction of $148,M Subsea Cable Manufacturing Plant
Cable Systems (JDR) has started construction of its new subsea cable manufacturing facility in Cambois, near Blyth, Northumberland, UK.The 69,000-square-meter factory will be operational by 2024. According to JDR, the £130 million ($148,7 million) project will deliver vital subsea cable manufacturing technology to the offshore wind market and is currently providing 171 local jobs for the construction phase of the project. The project is supported by the UK government as part of the BEIS Offshore Wind Manufacturing Investment Support Scheme.According to JDR, when complete, the facility will

OceanGate’s Cyclops submersible will usher in a new class of vehicle to help fulfill this need.” The Cyclops submersible will feature a seven-inch thick, individual-fiber-placed carbon fiber hull using proprietary Boeing manufacturing technology. The ability to accurately place thousands of individual strips of pre-impregnated fiber will overcome many of the hard to control variables surrounding traditional filament winding processes and permit the hull to withstand the very high compressive loads at 3,000m (300 bar).
